Macgillycuddy’s Reeks Warren Zevon

[Verse 1]
She stood beside my narrow bed to check my E.K.G
She shook her pretty little head at what's become of me
I thought I glimpsed a path that led through rhododendron days
And fuchsia nights to the boat shed in which we two once lay

[Chorus]
But she gazed only at my chart, the valleys and the peaks
Brought back the time she broke my heart in Macgillycuddy's Reeks
But she gazed only at my chart, the valleys and the peaks
Brought back the time she broke my heart in Macgillycuddy's Reeks

[Verse 2]
I saw her on Killarney's shore one morning in July
When I still thought I was a thorn, tryin' to find a side
I met her in the little launch that runs to Innisfallen
Hunched together, haunch to haunch, tryin' to keep my balance

[Chorus]
But she upset my applecart, she kissed me on the cheek
And I was struck by Cupid's dart in Macgillycuddy's Reeks
Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Macgillycuddy's Reeks
When I was struck by Cupid's dart in Macgillycuddy's Reeks

[Verse 3]
She was a systems analyst for a dot com company
She said, "You think because we've kissed, I'll be yours eternally"
"I'll sign another prenup and we'll merge our P.L.C.s
That's why most girls go belly-up in this economy"
