YR DARK

about

John Casey (Irish bartender at the Brendan Behan) was telling me a story about something Kevin Armitage said to him at the end of the bar one night. That they both 'were dark' and that they both knew what he was talking about.

lyrics

YR DARK (for Kevin Armitage n John Casey)

he leans across the bar
n his irish eyes take hold
i can tell by his look - this one's gonna count
he said 'i have a simple thing t tell ya that ya already know
i jes' thought this might be a good time t remind ya

yr dark
it's a lonely thing t be
dark, dark, dark
strange n free

i know you like i know my face
i know yr just like me
we both have been t hell n back
n swim in the briny sea

yr dark
it's a lovely thing t be
dark, dark, dark
wild n free

we carry on r shoulders
we carry in r hearts
the hurt we feel
the pain of others
torn apart

yr dark
it's the only thing t be
dark, dark, dark
brilliant n free

some r young
n some r broken
the fist of fate comes knockin'
we smile,
we laugh, we drink, we love
