"Happy days snap the stem shed a tear" Always hoping for the first First touch first love rest of days This day always wanting In the heart but in the head For the first Happy days break the net burst the banks Tear the branches Free the leaves if they want The first day of a second time sequence Go again go on home get around Mind your business So that private So that mystery may So illusive is Go on home To keep it going Second time go Since the last have spent a year Have spent a tear happy days Taming cats tails curled vexed eyes narrow slits Wanting wanting wanting - what! Like a pet in summer's garden Winter now framed and bony Always only end in bone Skin is done fur has gone Go on home this day always In the heart in the stomach in Dante's pit In the head It keeps wanting for the first It knows nothing First touch first of the day first word to tell Say it once sweet again sweet day Go on home Go again In a way Any way Go on in stand in line go alone Waiting now aren't we always only waiting Wanting wanting wanting - what! In the end for the first Let it live if it will Go again go on home Always hoping For the first Go again Stoneybatter Go again the restless night Go on home To Howth's head My rocky north star Dad Mom Brother Sister Dante In the pit of the foothill Going again too Go on Sandymount Sand dunes have rolled out flat Gone away gone home Half an hour half the night In the head in the heart For the first Go again Snap the stem
