Magic Nights in the Lobby Bar Christy Moore

There were magic nights in the lobby bar
When Brendan Ring played Madame Bonaparte
And every note that the piper would play
Would send me away send me away

Away through the window, away in the rain
Over the city, away on the air
To a field by a river where the trees are so green
The deepest of green that you've ever seen
Where once you have been you can go back again
You can go anytime, you can go anytime
Because it's only in your mind

There were magic nights in the lobby bar
With Ricky Lynch and his golden guitar
Singin' Autumn in Mayfield and the barley was ripe
And the harvest moon was low in the sky
We were children our mothers were young and fathers were tall and kind
And every note Ricky Lynch would play would send me away send me away

Away through the window, away in the rain
Over the city, away on the air
To a field by a river where the trees are so green
The deepest of green that you've ever seen
Where once you have been you can go back again
You can go anytime, you can go anytime
Because it's only in your mind
