this one here is very special to me, in fact, my will stipulates that this be played at my wake.
for those of you who are not irish, a wake is the party before your funeral, consisting of alot of drinking, singing, even a bit o' dancing and fighting if the situation calls for it. As per tradition i will be laid out on a table, with a bottle of whiskey at my right hand and my family and friends drinking to my memory.
anyway, here is the song "Whistles the Wind" by Flogging Molly
Whistles the wind, blowing my way
Sweeping me back, back here to stay
Can winners be losers running on the same track?
Some head for glory, others we crash
Well it breaks my heart to see you this way
the beauty in life, where's it gone?
And somebody told me, you were doing okay
Somehow I guess they were wrong
My isolation, now there's a sobering thought
A minute alone, a lifetime too long
See the face in this mirror, so pale it could crack
Desperately wanting the color it lacks
Well it breaks my heart to see you this way
The beauty in life, where's its gone
And somebody told me, you were doing okay
Somehow I guess they were wrong
So you drank with the lost souls for too many years
tied to their ankles now crippled with fear
Never been righteous, though seldom we're wrong
Life's only life with you in this song
Now there's an ocean between
Where I am and where I want to be
So you prayers in doubt, doubt not for me
Well it breaks my heart to see you this way
The beauty in life, where's it gone?
And somebody told me, you were doing okay
Somehow I guess they were wrong
Well it breaks my heart to see you this way
The beauty in life, where's it gone?
And somebody told me, you were doing okay
Somehow I guess they were wrong
Whistles the wind
Whistles the wind
Whistles the wind
Whistles the wind
Oh you'll find your way out, but there's no going now
Every woman and child drags you down for the dive
It's not safe being free, can't give back what you feel
You said you'll always be in heaven with me
