Danny Boy Lyrics

Official lyrics for Danny Boy, performed by Rufus Wainwright.

Your skin is cold, but The sun shines within your hold Your hair is gold, but you see through a goldfish bowl I feel old, sick and tired We walk the streets, gently staring, wondering what to do The sun in sheets, pouring down those streets to eyes green and blue And a ship with eight sails could come 'round the bend Or a herd of bulls charging stop lights red I'd be blind Chorus: you broke my heart danny boy Not your fault danny boy I was hanged at the doorstep, played like a two to a fourset Had like poor job in the bible by god Day comes i wake, i wake with a hard heartache I go down to your place We sit and chat, chat about new york And trips to the bayou My smile a trick, tricking me and trying not to scare you And a ship with eight sails could come 'round the ben Or a herd of bulls charging stop lights red I'd be blind Chorus
