a lazarus soul - the day harry left lyrics
streets became a row of houses
our home became a building
and this neighbourhood lost it’s appeal
the day that harry left for england
and a silent handshake signalled the end of thirteen years
and what had took a lifetime to secure
just took a day to disappear
with life you live and learn
with time you come to terms
but his presence breathed life into this island
and i would pray to god he’d come back home to my land
months p-ssed by so slow
i led the loneliest existence
and though i moved in many circles
i learned to keep a healthy distance
and every now and then the cloud cover would clear
with the occasional letter
interspersed throughout the year
the tears they soon ran dry
with years you realise
that events met in our lives that we despise
can be the most beautiful blessings in disguise
sometimes our lowest blinds
can be defined in moments
like when deanstown avenue became a building’s
like when harry byrne left us behind for england
emerged out of my darkness
as the following summer came
and i rediscovered magic
in this neighbourhood again
we’re blessed with many friendships
some we squander some we save
but they’re never like the ones we had as children
like the one i lost when harry left for england
but we must do what’s best
what makes us happiest
and i found my piece of happiness in my land
and harry found his piece of happiness in england
