The moon it whispers

My own voice

That screamed just a day ago

Reminds me of when I still

Had the choice

That I could stay or I could go

Now I sit here and I

Smoke with you

New friend you're growing old

(chorus in Gaelic)

So if you see me

In the wind

Please think twice before you let me in

I only smile just to

Ease the pain

You think it's a smile brother I think it's a stain

(chorus in Gaelic)

Tomorrow will have trouble

Surprising me

Today he took all of his casualties

Yesterday left most of

My memory then

But today was not a day forgiven
