I took a walk with my guardian angel
Through the streets where I was born
The painted walls rose up around me
From the Shank** to the Falls
And all the times you entertained me
Or broke my heart I can recall
Till I threw the dice and kept my distance
From the Shank** and the Falls
I know your aching to trust somebody
A spark of love in everyone
From Tiger's bay to the Silent Valley
From the Shank** to the Falls
