The Sky Road

Jimmy MacCarthy
Danny's made his mind up He's leaving for America He's leaving for America Leaving all of us behind He says there's nothing here not drenched in beer In blood and retribution And the wealth's distribution's Been weighing heavy on his mind And he knows that he'll regret the leaving Knows that he will pine for grieving For the sky road by the singing sea And all of us behind Danny looks so lovely working in the fields Or dancing like a wild one Sparks flying around his heels But his friends all gone before him From the sacred ground that bore them Now they wonder does she scorn them For giving up the land And they know that they'll regret the leaving Know that they will pine for grieving For the sky road by the singing sea And all of us behind Danny's made his mind up He's leaving for America He's leaving for America Leaving all of us behind And I wonder does he know I love him All below and none above him As I sit here by the singing sea Alone and left behind Repeat
