Americian Wake
Black 47

Open up the door, she's standin' there With the smile in her eyes but the gray in her hairnBetrays the fact you strayed far from home With your drinkin', your smokin', your whorin' aroundnSit down by the fire, put your feet on the gratenSpend the night reminiscin' 'til the hour grows latenAlways remember at the end of the daynYou can always go home - you just can't staynThen it's off to the pub for to see your old matesnAh, they all look older, but nothin' has changednAnd you drink 'til you're nearly out of your headnHey, what are yez all doin' snakin' off to bednThen you're outside her flat but she's no longer therenAnd the tears scald your eyes as you think of her hairnIn the photo they sent you of her wedding daynYou can always go home - you just can't staynThen you see her at Mass with the kids at her sidenAnd it all comes back in the blink of an eyenThe tears and the laughter, the love and the liesnAnd that dress she wore the night you said good-byenThen her husband says it's good to have you backnAnd she smiles for a moment and squeezes your handnBut you know what she's thinkin', she doesn't have to saynYou can always go home - you just can't staynAnd you swear to yourself time and time againnIt was all in the past, she don't mean anythingnNow your life is full of laughter and bars What did you leave behind, just the sun, the moon and the starsnThen it's up in the mornin' at the crack of dawnnWith your stomach churnin', she says c'mon now, Sean,nYou'll be late for the plane, but that crack in her voicenBetrays the fact that you made your choicenA long time ago, now there's no turnin' backn'Cause last night you had your American WakenAnd the bells are still ringin', can't you hear what they saynYou can always go home - you just can't staynSay good-bye in the wind and the pourin' rainnOne last drink at Shannon Airport, then we're outa here,nHistory around here, catch you again next yearnLandin' at Kennedy, all you feel is the pain, But it's too late, 'cause last night you had your American Wake.
