the highstool prophets - the shipyards and gdanske (live) lyrics

Loading...

verse 1

in a dark and dreary corner
in a bar outside the town
a polish man was drinkin’
he looked a little down
i served him what he ordered
he paid me and said “thanks”
“my name is yahtzee from gdanske”

chorus

and the wife and children, that he has left behind
they’re playing ‘ring a rosie’ in his mind
even though his gifted hands
were not needed in his land
he still dream of the shipyards and gdansk

verse 2

my father worked the shipyards
he gave to them his life
i followed in his footsteps
i thought it was my right
til’ that cold october’s morning
in the year of zero four
they handed me my papers at the door
chorus

and the wife and children, that he has left behind
they’re playing ‘ring a rosie’ in his mind
even though his gifted hands
were not needed in his land
he still dream of the shipyards and gdansk

verse 3

cause then i came to ireland
to build for me a life
to feed the celtic tiger
my family and wife
building walls in tipperary
and roads in dublin town
and dreaming of the day im homeward bound

chorus

and the wife and children, that he has left behind
they’re playing ‘ring a rosie’ in his mind
even though his gifted hands
were not needed in his land
he still dream of the shipyards and gdansk
verse 4

just as the bar was closing
he lifted up his glass
“here’s a toast to ireland
her future and her past
the flame that burns within you
in my heart will always dance
til’ i return to the shipyards and gdansk

chorus

and the wife and children, that he has left behind
they’re playing ‘ring a rosie’ in his mind
even though his gifted hands
were not needed in his land
he still dream of the shipyards and gdansk
even though his gifted hands
were not needed in his land
he still dreams of the shipyards and gdansk
