Tell Me What Happened
Sitting in a park in Dublin town With my pack on my side-o I met an old man and he started to talk About a girl that he used to know He said "I'm the type of guy that likes to run around Breaking hearts everywhere I go But then your youth runs out and you got no clout No place to call your own And the girls that used to carry you home Have left you to rot at the bars alone" Tell me what happened to you, son Tell me what happened-o Tell me what happened to you, son You've got no place to go Tell me what happened to you, son Tell me what happened-o Tell me what happened to you, son You've got no place to go And as his flask ran dry, bottomed up to the sky His grin fell to a frown The storm not far drove us into the bar The rain was falling down Some drink to be merry, some drink to forget SongtexteBut when a man lives with regret You'll never see a thirst so sorrowful Long eyes through a face of red And the girls that used to carry you home Have left you to rot at the bars alone Tell me what happened to you, son Tell me what happened-o Tell me what happened to you, son You've go no place to go Tell me what happened to you, son Tell me what happened-o Tell me what happened to you, son You've go no place to go And as he sang a tune about a girl he loved When he was young and strong He dreamt that he could win her back If she only heard his song He sang on the street to the passerby's With a sad endearing charm Until the day that she passed him by With her husband on her arm Tell me what happened to you, son Tell me what happened-o Tell me what happened to you, son You've go no place to go Tell me what happened to you, son Tell me what happened-o Tell me what happened to you, son You've go no place to go Tell me what happened to you, son Tell me what happened-o Tell me what happened to you, son You've go no place to go Tell me what happened to you, son Tell me what happened-o Tell me what happened to you, son You've go no place to go And the girls that used to carry you home Have left you to rot at the bars alone Aus Songtexte Mania
