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
