Clancy - Tom McGhee
What do you see when you open your eyes
How do you live with such a terrible surprise
He was lying there so cold on the floor
With no money in his pockets
And no change in the drawer
And it looks like Clancy won't know when we're leaving
Looks like he won't say goodbye
Looks like Clancy won't know that we're grieving
But he'd damned sure want to know the reason why
Saw him walking down the street the other day
He was swinging it along in his usual way
He had no tales to tell and not much to say
And it never crossed my mind that he'd end this way
And it...
Where do you hide in the deep of the night
When the blood on your hands is so red in the light
Who do you know that you can call friend
Who'll stand beside you when you reach the end
And it...
