She put it right between my lipsAnd I bit down with the lightAnd I asked her had she anythingShe handed me a lightAnd with that light I took a dragAnd I watched the world go byYou were mine and I was yoursAnd our limit was the sky
And we watched time go byWell I told her ask me anythingShe asked me how to cryAnd when I think of you I knowForever I will beHappy as the fool because together we are free
Well we cantered on by the statueWhere once Phil Lynott stoodMet by his scoley being hoisted outside Mary's PubHe'd never seen the like beforeRare seemed so daftAnd the cobbles were lit up by the enchantment of your laugh
And we watched time go byWell I told her ask me anythingShe asked me how to cryAnd when I think of you I know forever I will beHappy as the fool because together we are free
Well we watched the buskers play a tune in lower Grafton StreetAnd I tried to grab your finger but I wasn't so discreetYou smiled and braced my hand and pulled me into some old barAnd we drank a drop and we twirled and talked about our lives so far
And we watched time go byWell I told her ask me anythingShe asked me how to cryAnd when I think of you I know forever I will beHappy as the fool because together we are free
Well he swallowed down his last dropAnd began to feel the heatAnd he gestured to the bar man that it was his time to leaveWith a cap upon his head he thought of home in SkibbereenSaid we were the finest couple that his eyes had ever seen
And we watched time go byWell I told her ask me anythingShe asked me how to cryAnd when I think of you I know forever I will beHappy as the fool because together we are free
And as she boards her plane back to her home in AmsterdamShe'll study for the year before turning to her landShe said she loves a man and he is stationed far awayWith him her precious love she says forever it will stay
And we watched time go byWell I told her ask me anythingShe asked me how to cryAnd when I think of you I know forever I will beHappy as the fool because together we are free
