"Friends For Life" lyrics

"Friends For Life"

A world apart is a shining pony
One horned romantic of old stories
Dining on landscapes and on sea breezes
While we rest on seats with the other creatures

We are benched by the life of Reilly
On lost subjects of the open hearted
Till nothing could be said but Sidh

Friends for life, Oh friends for life

All pining in the night has ceased
And with it each noise that once rattled the peace
So high now, winging it with ease well
This spring could be step master of peace until

Held hands keep us swooping in hunger
Torpedo minded, moonlight hunters
Tree tops swaying and far beyond view
Where Sidh may sleep 'n feast far from you

Friends for life, Oh friends for life

But you're tear-away, you're gonna run off in the night
You're gonna leave that girl smiling in the shadow of the spike
You're on your way to somewhere but leave no one behind
Now's the time to celebrate the world you leave to find
Let's celebrate

Woah woah, woah woah
La la la la, ba ba, dwoop dwoop

Oh, Friends for life

Well do I wish for hope or do I wish for gold
Should I try to do my best what I am told or
Do I rebel with a battle cry, well
To add more tears in this world's not right so

I will a night where the musics loud, where
The campfires warm up the screaming crouds, where
The girls dance in the hot lights so
To add more tears in this worlds not right

But you're tear-away, you're gonna run off in the night
You're gonna leave that girl smiling in the shadow of the spike
You're on your way to somewhere but leave no one behind
Now's the time to celebrate the world you leave to find
Let's celebrate

Woah woah, la la la la
Ooh ohh, ba ba ba, dwoop dwoop
Woah woah, la la la la
Ooh ohh, dwoop dwoop

And the girls in the balcony let down their hair
And the boys in the cheap seats have to stop and stare
And the girls in the cheap seats held out their hands, Oh
Boy! If you love that girl you better make your stand that's right

Cause you're tear-away, you're gonna run off in the night
You're gonna leave that girl smiling in the shadow of the spike
You're on your way to somewhere but leave no one behind
Now's the time to celebrate the world you leave to find
Let's celebrate

Woah woah, la la la la
Ooh ohh, ba ba ba, dwoop dwoop
Woah woah, la la la la
Ooh ohh, dwoop dwoop

What do I love about where we stand, well
I love the ground that we're waltzing on
Holding fortunes in each palm
(What's holdin us together is just imagination)
(What's holdin us together is just imagination)

My friend for life
