《The Contender(Live at The Point， 2006)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Contender - Christy Moore

[00:00:11] When i was young and I was in my day

[00:00:18] I could steal what womans heart there was away

[00:00:25] Sing and dance into the dawning

[00:00:29] Blaze a trail until the morning

[00:00:33] Long before I was the man you see today

[00:00:41] And I was born beneath the star that promised all

[00:00:48] I could have lived my life between cork cobh and youghal

[00:00:55] But the wheel of fortune took me

[00:00:59] From the highest point she shook me

[00:01:03] By the bottle live by the bottle i shall fall

[00:01:10] But there in the mirror on the wall

[00:01:17] I see the dream is fading

[00:01:23] From the contender to the fall

[00:01:32] The ring the rose the matador raving

[00:01:41] And when I die I'll die a drunk down on the street

[00:01:48] You can count me out to ten in clear defeat

[00:01:55] Rap the stary plough around me

[00:01:59] Let the pipers air resound me

[00:02:03] There I'll rest until the lord of love I meet

[00:02:10] But there in the mirror on the wall

[00:02:17] I see the dream is fading

[00:02:23] From the contender to the brawl

[00:02:32] The ring the rose the matador raving

[00:02:56] Rap the starry plough around men

[00:03:00] Let the pipers air resound me

[00:03:03] There I'll rest until the Lord of love I'll meet
