Today's song

I mentioned this, one of my favorite songs, while talking with my angel on the phone last night. She's never heard it so I'm posting it today.

It's very bittersweet, and some of the language isn't child safe, but it's still beautiful.



It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, "won't see another one"
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So Happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When he first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing Galway Bay
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
And thank God it's our last

The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing Galway Bay
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing Galway Bay
And the bells are ringing out
For Christmas Day

That's an interesting song. Got to hear most of it, but had to let someone have their pc back after a smoke. Thank you for posting it. I will listen to it hopefully all the way through very soon. It is very beautiful though.
