The saints are coming I say no matter how I try I realize there's no reply How long now? I cried to my daddy on the telephone The line went But the shadows still remain since your descent, your descent There is a house in New Orleans They call the risin'

I wish you well I wish her well And the auld triangle went jingle jangle On the Royal Canal My Adeline was swimming Sweet Adeline was singing To the tune of Royal Canal

Follow me instead There's miles of land in front of us, And we're dying with every step we take, We're dying with every breath we make, And all fall in line A stranger's back is all I see, He's only a few feet in front of me, And all look left and right

I'll pray for you Do you pray for me? How many nights do you lie dreaming I'm counting the days since you went away When I lost my heart, life lost all meaning What I would give to see you again And you slipped away from me without talking The look in

And I'll follow right down the river Where the ocean meets the sky To you, to you Somewhere down the line we went and lost it Only you, only you And no one else can fix me, only you Only you, (only you), only you, (only you) Dancing with your silhouette

We knew every line, now I can't remember How it goes but I know that I won't forget her And we danced all night to the best song ever 'Cause we danced all night to the best song ever I think it went oh, oh, oh I think it went yeah, yeah, yeah I think it

I'll pray for you Do you pray for me? How many nights do you lie dreaming I'm counting the days since you went away When I lost my heart, life lost all meaning What I would give to see you again And you slipped away from me without talking The look in
