Peggy Kelly lived right next door Rest of the family down a few doors more And it was commonplace to feel your house was secure The streetlights turned red ten o'clock sharp This is no folklore And if the sun doesn't rise Sing me to sleep on Knockavoe mountainside Cause I've been learning in time Thought I seen through it all But I was blind Hughie Blee fixed bikes and played guitar He'd pass on his knowledge for two quid and it got me far And every Friday I'd race up the golf links hard To write shit songs on a stereo Man, long before the war And if the sun doesn't rise Sing me to sleep on Knockavoe mountainside Cause I've been learning in time Thought I seen through it all But I was blind One day the sun will not rise One day the sun will not rise One day the sun will not rise And I hope you lie My beaten body on the hill These broken wings too used to fly And if the sun doesn't rise Sing me to sleep on Knockavoe mountainside Cause I've been learning in time Thought I seen through it all But I was blind Above the head of the town Looking down on Melvin Park and friends of mine Oh just to sleep in the sound Of one more summer spent On hallowed ground Cause all this nothingness It eats my crown Distance Is Getting Me Down Distance Is Getting Me Down And I'd love nothing more, than to meet you now Distance Is Getting Me Down Distance Is Getting Me Down And I'd love nothing more, than to meet you now I'm all cried out today So hear me shout
