LYRICS
Haunting Refrain ‘DANNY BOY’
Words & music by Tony Walsh ©2016
Wondered a lifetime, seen my share of pain.
Squandered a fortune and whiskeys to blame.
Fragmented memories are all that remain.
As my thoughts drift back to my home once again.
I can hear my father singing that haunting refrain.
A song that flows through the blood of its peoples veins.
Woven through the history of its country's pain.
As my thoughts drift back to my home once again.
Danny boy you are with me wherever I roam.
Through the streams and the hills your song still echos.
Future generations will sing of your name.
As i raise my glass to that song once again.
In my dreams I am strolling down Petticoat lane.
Faintly in the distance I hear the piper play.
There's a swell of emotion that cant be contained.
As my thoughts drift back to my home once again.
Danny boy you are with me wherever I roam.
Through the streams and the hills your song still echos.
Future generations will sing of your name.
As i raise my glass to that song once again.
As my thoughts drift back to my home once again.
YOU CANT KILL THE LOVE IN ME. Words & Music by Tony Walsh ©2017
I've been a refugee
I was lost at sea
Until you came along and rescued me
Stuck in no mans land
We crossed the barren sands
Until you lent a hand and set me free
Lost in a maze, Tortured, enslaved, will I ever be free
Free from the chains that bind me to pain and to misery
You cant kill the love, cant kill the love, you cant kill the love in me
You cant kill the love, cant kill the love, you cant kill the love in me.
I’ve heard the thunder roar
Seen the heavens pour
Felt the earth quake beneath my feet
Surrounded on all sides
By nature’s raging tides
To you I will confide love never dies.
Lost in a maze, Tortured, enslaved will I ever be free
Free from the chains that bind me to pain and to misery
You cant kill the love, cant kill the love, you cant kill the love in me
YOU'RE ONE IN A MIRACLE.
Words and Music by Tony Walsh c2020
You’re one in a miracle
You’re love is the light
You’re one in a miracle
Burning so bright
And when the seeds of doubt
Bring uncertainty
You show me how beautiful
This world can be
Sometimes I feel forsaken
But then I feel you near
You’re one in a miracle
You’re love is the light
You’re one in a miracle
Burning so bright
Your all I see
You help me believe
LORD REIGN O’ER ME.
Words & Music by TONY WALSH ©2017
Lord reign o’er me
let your word, be my creed
Lord hear my prayer
Comfort me
Lord rescue me
let your word, set me free
Lord hear my prayer
Comfort me
As I walk through the darkness
I know your by my side
If I falter, by temptation
I’ll have the strength to make things right
As I walk thru the darkness
I know your by my side
If I falter, by temptation
I’ll have the strength to make things right
Lord rescue me
let your word, set me free
Lord heed my prayer
Comfort me
Comfort me
Comfort me
Comfort me
Crazy Love.
Words and Music By Tony Walsh ©2017
Crazy love why can’t you see
You’ve brought nothing but trouble to me
Crazy love just let me be
From the torment you bring with your jealousy
Crazy love can’t we agree
You’ve brought nothing but trouble to me
Crazy love just set me free
From the torture you bring with your jealousy
Your the same old love who won’t let me fall
The same old love who’s there when I call
The same old love that fills me with joy
But that crazy love just wants to destroy
You are my world
Words & Music by Tony Walsh ©2017
Sail away on a sea of dreams
and I'll be by your side
Take my hand we'll travel ancient lands
and I will be your guide.
You are my world, you are my world.
To see a world within a pearl
and heaven in a flower
To embrace the human race
and cherish every hour.
You are my world, you are my world
Life is a riddle
Cloaked in a mystery
Then locked in a puzzle.
But love in it's simplicity
Holds the key to the mystery
To unlock the puzzle.
So here I sit wondering which
path led to life's bliss.
The road I took was living proof
it all began with YOU.
She Took Everything But The Blame.
Words and music by Tony Walsh ©2020
She took the house
She took the car
She took the kids
She’s gone too far
She took the dog
She took the cat
My cowboy hat
What's up with that
She took my money and that ain't funny
Just for fun she took my guns
And just for spite with great delight
She had a date with my ex-wife
Put the photos on her website
She took everything but the blame
That girl's insane
Nothing remains
She took everything but the blame
Now drinks champagne
And still complains
She took everything, everything, everything but the blame
She filed a claim and took my name
Convinced the judge that I’m insane
And just for spite with great delight
She had a date with my ex-wife
Put the photos on her website
She took everything but the blame
That girl's insane
Nothing remains
She took everything but the blame
Now drinks champagne
And still complains
She took everything, everything, everything but the blame
She took the photos of my mother
And my little brother
She took my Jack she took my beer
And that brought me to tears
She took my 57 Chevy
And she drove it in the levee
Then she trashed my Harley
And threw a great big party
Now she's got new lovers
One of them is my brother
The other's my best friend
Will this torture never end
She took everything but the blame
That girl's insane
Nothing remains
She took everything but the blame
Now drinks champagne
And still complains
She took everything, everything, everything but the blame
You are visitor number: 155
THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN TO ME.
Words and music by Tony Walsh ©2016
Feel the warmth in her embrace
The tenderness she radiates
She turned out to be,
The best thing to happen to me
She’s the fire when I feel cold
The easy chair when I feel old
She turned out to be,
The best thing to happen to me
And my love is a raging sea
With tides that never cease
Fueled by jealousy
And her love is a rhapsody
It’s a haunting melody
That brings me to my knees
To my knees
She’s the best thing to happen to me
A mother’s touch when the fevers high
She quench the thirst when the well runs dry
She turned out to be,
The best thing to happen to me.
And my love is a raging sea
With tides that never cease
Fueled by jealousy
And her love is a rhapsody
It’s a haunting melody
That brings me to my knees
To my knees
She’s the best thing to happen to me
Once in a while we all fall
Words & music by Tony Walsh ©2019
Once in a while we all fall
Unsure of the path to take
Life can mislead, and people deceive
It can lead us to question our faith
Once in a while we all dream
Of riches, fortune and fame
In reality the world you will see
Is driven by greed, lies and hate
When dreams turn to dust
And your mettle to rust
And there’s discord in harmony
The answer it seems, was right before me
Never let you fears rule your heart
Once in a while we all cry
When life is to hard to take
A trusted old friend on whom you depend
Brings comfort and restores your faith
When dreams turn to dust
And your mettle to rust
And there’s discord in harmony
The answer it seems, was right before me
Never let your fears rule your heart
The rivers only deep if you cant swim
The tide will drag you down
But faith will pull you in
The answer you see, was right before me
Never let your fears rule your heart
Once in a while we all fall
OLD TIME COUNTRY SONG
Words and music by Tony Walsh ©2017
It’s just an old time country song
The words relate to everyone
Your heart is breaking as you sing along
It’s just an old time country song
Grandma’s listening to the radio
Willie Nelson singing ‘way down low’
We sit around and sing along
To those old time country songs.
Some people say that country’s done.
That it should go back where it started from
The new songs don't belong
In a world of country songs.
Fried catfish on the stove
Hank William's on the radio
We sing and dance all night long
To those old time country songs
Some people say that country’s done.
That it should go back where it started from
The new songs don't belong
In a world of country songs
Sister’s crying cause she’s all alone
Locked in her room with the gramophone
She plays the same song all day long
It’s just an old time country song
Timeless songs from long ago
Bring distant memories from that still echo
Of Simpler times when we would sing along
To those old time country songs
Bring back those old time country songs
Bring back dancing in your lovers arm’s
Bring back songs where we sing along
Bring back those old time country songs.
