Songs Title：the man who wrote danny boy[00:00:02]

It happened one night[00:00:24]

At three in the morning[00:00:27]

The devil appeared in my studio room[00:00:30]

And he said Im your pal[00:00:35]

And Ill make you a deal[00:00:37]

Blow away your struggle[00:00:41]

And Ill take your soul for a toy[00:00:45]

After rubbing my eyes[00:00:59]

I looked all around me[00:01:02]

At the half-finished drivel Id worked on for days[00:01:05]

And I told him my dream[00:01:10]

Was to live for all time[00:01:13]

In some perfect refrain[00:01:16]

Like the man who wrote danny boy[00:01:19]

And I said if youre real then Ill ask you a question[00:01:33]

While most of us turn into ashes or dust[00:01:38]

Just you and that other guy go on forever[00:01:42]

But who writes the history[00:01:47]

And who do I trust [00:01:49]

He gave me a wink[00:02:11]

And he said it was funny[00:02:13]

How mortals would pour all their blood sweat and tears[00:02:16]

Onto tape onto paper[00:02:21]

Or into the air[00:02:24]

To be lost and forgotten[00:02:28]

Outside of his kind employ[00:02:31]

Then I thought I could hear a great sound in the distance[00:02:41]

Of whiskey-soaked singing[00:02:46]

And laughter and cheers[00:02:48]

And theyre saying that song could bring tears to a glass eye[00:02:51]

So pass me the papers Ill sign them in blood[00:02:55]

And the smell of the brimstone was turned into greasepaint[00:03:04]

And the roar of the crowd like the furies of hell[00:03:08]

And I hear the applause and I hear the bells ringing[00:03:12]

And the sound of a womans voice from the next room[00:03:17]

Saying come to me now[00:03:24]

Come lay down beside me[00:03:28]

Whatever youre doing youre too gone to see[00:03:31]

You cant hold onto shadows no more than to years[00:03:36]

So be glad for the pleasures[00:03:44]

Were young enough to enjoy[00:03:47]

So maybe Im drunk[00:04:16]

Or maybe a liar[00:04:19]

Or maybe were all living inside a dream[00:04:22]

You can say what you like[00:04:27]

When Im gone then youll see[00:04:29]

Ill be down in the dark[00:04:34]

Down underground[00:04:38]

With shakespeare and bach[00:04:41]

And the man who wrote danny boy[00:04:43]
