The Banyan Guitar Lyrics by Gerry O’Beirne

Swimming the Horses

2019

There's a rusty old wreck of a car
Hangin’ out in my yard
I play on a banyan guitar
When I'm feeling sad and blue
And the wind is blowing through
You walked through an open door
Knowing what was true
The person that you loved
Who didn't love you
When the wind was blowin’ through
You can't stop the waterfall
Or the bird that flew
We'll meet in John Benny's tonight
And have a deoch or two
Or two
When the wind is blowing through
There's a rusty old wreck of a car
Hangin' out in my yard
I'll play on the banyan guitar
When the song is sad and blue
And the wind is blowin' through
