(S. MacGowan)
|
|
I've been loving you a long time
|
Down all the years, down all the days
|
And I've cried for all your troubles
|
Smiled at your funny little ways
|
|
|
We watched our friends grow up together
|
And we saw them as they fell
|
Some of them fell into heaven
|
And some of them fell into hell
|
|
|
I took shelter from a shower
|
And I stepped into your arms
|
On a rainy night in Soho
|
The wind was whistling all its charms
|
|
|
I sang you all my sorrows
|
And you told me all your joys
|
Whatever happened to that old song
|
To all those little girls and boys
|
Those little girls and boys
|
|
|
Now the song is nearly over
|
We may never find out what it means
|
But there's a light I hold before me
|
And you're the measure of my dreams
|
The measure of my dreams
|
|
|
These last two verses are not sung by Nick, but are part of the original song as written by Shane MacGowan:
|
|
Sometimes I wake up in the morning
|
The gingerlady by my bed
|
Covered in a cloak of silence
|
I hear you in my head
|
|
|
I'm not singing for the future
|
I'm not dreaming of the past
|
I'm not talking of the fist time
|
I never think about the last
|
|
|
Now the song is nearly over
|
We may never find out what it means
|
Still there's a light I hold before me
|
You're the measure of my dreams
|
The measure of my dreams
|
