I'm holding my breath
Just to see how it feels
To be all rushing from me
To be cracking the seals
There's some kind of poem
In the laundry machines
Press your ear to these thin hotel walls and
You'll see what I mean
And there's a picture in your fingers
Intersecting with mine
It's a church with no steeple
And all the folk are trapped inside
So, here we are, you beautiful man
Two specks on a map where no places have names
I'll tell you my secret in a room with no sound
When the last exit to morning comes around
When the last exit to morning comes around
I'm counting my toes, road signs brushing my feet
Your laconic repose palmed in a sun-dappled seat
And I'm tracing the steps we may well never make
My body is a stranger that I meet every night
Before you've had time to awake
So, here we are, you beautiful man
Two specks on a map where no places have names
I'll tell you my secret in a room with no sound
When the last exit to morning comes around
When the last exit to morning comes around
There will be a crash, babe
And it will make some noise
But for now, here we lie, babe
Oh so wonderfully poised...
So, here we are, you beautiful man
Two specks on a map where no places have names
I'll tell you my secret in a room with no sound
When the last exit to morning comes around
When the last exit to morning comes around
Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling,
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow,
It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,
Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so!
But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying,
If I am dead, as dead I well may be,
You'll come and find the place where I am lying,
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.
And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,
For you will bend and tell me that you love me,
And I shall sleep in peace until you come for me
