the contender - the fógues lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
when i was young and i was in my day
i could’ve stole what woman’s heart there was away
i’d sing and dance until the dawning
blaze a trail until the morning
long before i was the man you see today

[verse 2]
i was born beneath the star that promised all
i could have lived my life between cork cobh and youghal
but the wheel of fortune took me
from the highest point it shook me
by the bottle live, by the bottle i shall fall

[chorus]
and there in the mirror on the wall
i see the dream is fading
from the contender to the brawl
the ring, the rose, the matador is raving

[verse 3]
when i die, i’ll die a drunk out on the street
you can count me out to ten in clear defeat
wrap the starry plough around me
and let the piper’s air resound me
there i’ll rest until the lord of love i meet
[chorus]
and there in the mirror on the wall
i see the dream is fading
from the contender to the brawl
the ring, the rose, the matador is raving

[verse 3]
when i die, i’ll die a drunk out on the street
you can count me out to ten in clear defeat
wrap the starry plough around me
and let the piper’s air resound me
there i’ll rest until the lord of love i meet
