Late nights down Paddy Green, you brought your old guitar
Talk about our lives before we knew where they would start
Just kids lost in the light of our own youthful glow
Those nights up there before we knew we would go away
Had never left but oh we dreamed of where we'd roam
Always thought those days would come, but not that you would go
Not so fast, not at first, but we were too naïve
Friends never disappear as fast as when you leave
Paddy Green, I remember the feeling that you gave
Gave to me when the three of us were just kids
Lost and leaving our past behind, so we could leave
Paddy Green
We all but ran away and started our own lives
I moved across the country, you stayed home and there you thrived
Kept in touch as best we could, you told me of your mind
But without that same sky above us both, we fell behind
Paddy Green, I remember the feeling that you gave
Gave to me when the three of us were just kids
Lost and leaving our past behind, so we could leave
Paddy Green
*Instrumental*
Years passed, you moved around, you came within my grasp
Somehow those nights on Paddy Green were all but passed
We came so close, yet somehow, we still felt so far
Guess you hit that current, you found out who you are
