lirik lagu cyril cusack - the wild old wicked man

‘because i am mad about women
i am mad about the hills,’
said that wild old wicked man
who travels where god wills
‘not to die on the straw at home
those hands to close the eyes
that is all i ask, my dear
from the old man in the skies
daybreak and a candle~end

‘kind are all your words, my dear
do not the rest withhold
who can know the year, my dear
when an old man’s blood grows cold?
i have what no young man can have
because he loves too much
words i have that can pierce the heart
but what can hе do but touch?’
daybreak and a candle~end

thеn said she to that wild old man
his stout stick under his hand
‘love to give or to withhold
is not at my command
i gave it all to an older man:
that old man in the skies
hands that are busy with his beads
can never close those eyes.’
daybreak and a candle~end
‘go your ways, o go your ways
i choose another mark
girls down on the seashore
who understand the dark;
bawdy talk for the fishermen;
a dance for the fisher~lads;
when dark hangs upon the water
they turn down their beds
daybreak and a candle~end

‘a young man in the dark am i
but a wild old man in the light
that can make a cat laugh, or
can touch by mother wit
things hid in their marrow~bones
from time long passed away
hid from all those warty lads
that by their bodies lay
daybreak and a candle~end

‘all men live in suffering
i know as few can know
whether they take the upper road
or stay content on the low
rower bent in his row~boat
or weaver bent at his loom
horseman erect upon horseback
or child hid in the womb
daybreak and a candle~end
‘that some stream of lightning
from the old man in the skies
can burn out that suffering
no right~taught man denies
but a co~rs~ old man am i
i choose the second~best
i forget it all a while
upon a woman’s breast.’
daybreak and a candle~end
