lirik lagu jimmy mccarthy – the contender (aka jack doylr)
when i was young and i was in my day
sure i’d steal what woman’s heart there was away
and i’d sing into the dawning
saw a blaze into the morning
long before i was the man you see today.
i was born beneath the star that promised all
i could live my life between cork cobh and youghal
but the wheel of fortune took me
from the highest point she shook me
by the bottle, by the bottle i should fall
chorus
there in the mirror on the wall
i see the dream is fading
from the contender to the fall
the ring, the rose, the matador, raving
when i die i’ll die a drunk down on the street
he will count me out to ten in clear defeat
wrap the starry plough around me
let the pipers air resound me there
there i rest until the lord of love i meet
chorus
there in the mirror on the wall
i see the dream is fading
from the contender to the brawl
the ring, the rose, the matador, raving.
