In the city of a thousand windows
Our future we were told
In the palms of our hands
And the coffee ground was cold
That was before we crossed a mine field
We didn't know about
An Albanian soldier saved our souls
Leading us the safe way out

We were brothers for a while
Brothers for a while
Maybe in our best time

From Dingle Bay's so many pubs
To Sligo's Shoot The Crows
From Galway Bay to Temple Bar
We took the road, high and low
Through sunshine and through rain
We hiked the fields and hills
Green under our feet and hearts
With pints we had our fill

We drove along the highway
For 14 hours straight
We chased the poets, chased the nights
Slept in cars and tents
Over night under the sky in a
Norwegian fjord
Fresh air and strong vodka
Cut our evenings short

We stood on stage together
We drove to Pink Pop too
We saw Morphine performing
With other crazies, me and you
Sitting at the river
Watching ships go by
Sharing dreams and stories
Sharing a bottle wine
