Prefab Sprout - The Songs Of Danny Galway lyrics

I met him in a Dublin bar, The sorcerer from Wichita A wizard and his baby grand a range Of powers at his command He summoned ghosts of lover's sleeping And soldiers dying far from home Like a stone into a well, I fell beneath their spell The songs of Danny Galway Like a stone into a well, I fell beneath their spell The songs of Danny Galway In words he paints a vivid scene Of places you may not have been Yet listening you're moved to swear: I know that house, I've climbed the stair I've shared those overwhelming feelings I've suffered loss. I've known such joy Emotions we all know Are burnished 'til they glow In the songs of Danny Galway Emotions we all know Are burnished 'til they glow In the songs of Danny Galway His melodies? – Inspired whims His chord changes? Like Baptist hymns They'll lift your spirit 'til it soars 'til you forget that spirit's yours Sound and word in sweet communion Echoes of a better world Where chivalry's not dead Go look for it instead In the songs of Danny Galway Chivalry's not dead Go look for it instead In the songs of Danny Galway Something rare and pure Forever will endure In the songs of Danny Galway
