Lyrics Dark In Town - Elevator & The Taxman

The beat of the Bodhran
A sound fills the empty streets
Rain falls lasting
Splashes on lifeless concrete

The beat of the Bodhran
A sound fills the empty streets
Rain falls lasting
Splashes on lifeless concrete

In the pub at the end of the world
There are men without any work
How they pray for their peace of mind
Purge their souls with a bunch of pints

When it's dark in town
They never go away
A conciliation ever stays
But they never go away

A sailor on dry land
A wife and his six kids at home
No cash to feed them
Dozens of lies, he's alone

His brother's gone to the USA
His sister died on a winter day
His parents old, without any light
Condemned for endless night

When it's dark in town
They never go away
A conciliation ever stays
But they never go away

From Galway to the Liffey Strand
From Cork to the Antrim Land
From Shannon to the Donegal Sand
There is sadness on this land

When it's dark in town
They never go away
A conciliation ever stays
But they never go away

Out on the wishing well
Where the Angels dwell
I promised to be with you
Whenever we're apart
Out on the cliffs that night
With the moon in sight
Two bodies felt as one
What two minds have ever done

Where are you now? Walking away?
We were just too young to know
And much too young to die
Where are you now? Walking away?
This world's upset, it won't accept
Two hearts that will collide

We felt the summer breeze
Joined in the winter freeze
We held our presence close
The future couldn't bother us at all
Now it is dark in town
The fights have got us down
The house my love once lived in
Is blown away by time

Where are you now? Walking away?
We were just too young to know
And much too young to die
Where are you now? Walking away?
This world's upset, it won't accept
Two hearts that will collide

Where are you now? (Out on the wishing well)
Walking away? (Where the Angels dwell)
We were just too you to know
And much too young to die

Where are you now? (Out on the cliffs tonight)
Walking Away? (With the moon in sight)
We sacrificed our youth
For a life of stout and booze
Where are you now?
Walking away?
The well is drowned, the moon is deaf
The Angels on the ground
Where are you now?
Walking Away?
I'll ever got to be with you
We'll always be apart
