Lyrics:
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 and dance into the morning Sure I'd blaze away 'til the morning Long before I was the man you see today. I was born beneath the star that promised all I could have lived 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 shall fall 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, is raving When I die I'll die a drunk down on the street You can count me out to ten in clear defeat Wrap the Starry Plough around me Let the pipers air resound me, 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, is raving.
