Sad Old Town Lyrics by Colm Egan

Here’s My Face

2021

Billy took himself a little midnight stroll
When he stumbled ‘cross a woman
Sleeping in the cold
He’d heard it on some channel things were on the rise
So forgive him when he says it took him by surprise
Hey Billy!
Lost in this sad old town
The shadow of decision
Hit him hard and cold
And a long trail of excuses
That began to take hold
A mirror pressed to his face
Still he turned he an eye
Kept his head hung down real low
And just walked on by
Hey Billy!
Lost in this sad old town
If there’s still a little fight left in the dog
And that feeling in your heart don’t sit right
Ring the bell and keep the beating of the drum
In this sad old town tonight
He’s got himself a kid and a sweet young wife
But there’s an itch inside which keeps him looking out for strife
Grappling with that rope tightening ‘round his neck
And a paper on the fire to keep his habits in check
Hey Billy!
Tell us what’s going on?
If there’s still a little fight left in the dog
And that feeling in your heart don’t sit right
Ring the bell and keep the beating of the drum
In this sad old town tonight
Hey Billy what do you say?
Hey Billy, how much more can you take?
Will you bend?
Will you break?
I don’t know
Lost in this sad old town
Hey Billy, how much more can you take?
Will you bend?
Will you break?
I don’t know
Lost in this sad old town
If there’s still a little fight left in the dog
And that feeling in your heart don’t sit right
Ring the bell and keep the beating of the drum
In this sad old town tonight
Billy took himself a little midnight stroll
