[00:00.49]Farewell - Don McLean
[00:23.35]Golden haired and golden hearted
[00:26.43]I would ever have you be
[00:28.82]As you were when we last parted
[00:31.63]Smiling slow and sad at me
[00:34.83]Oh the fighting down of passion
[00:37.37]Oh the century-seeming pain
[00:40.27]Parting in this off-hand fashion
[00:43.15]In Dungarvan in the rain
[00:48.71]In the rain
[00:51.42]Slanting eyes of blue unweeping
[00:54.22]Stands my Swedish beauty where
[00:57.16]Gusts of Irish rain are sweeping
[01:00.15]Round the statue in the square
[01:03.03]Corner boys against the walling
[01:05.49]Watch us furtively in vain
[01:08.42]And the Angelus is calling
[01:11.28]Through Dungarvan in the rain
[01:16.88]In the rain
[01:47.67]Gales along the Commeragh Mountains
[01:51.06]Beating sleet on creaking signs
[01:53.74]Iron gutters turned to fountains
[01:56.58]And the windscreen laced with lines
[01:59.39]And the evening getting later
[02:01.89]And the ache increased again
[02:04.99]As the distance grows the greater
[02:07.66]From Dungarvan in the rain
[02:13.26]In the rain
[02:16.17]There is no one now to wonder
[02:19.02]What eccentric sits in state
[02:21.82]While the beech trees rock and thunder
[02:24.86]Round his gate-lodge and his gate
[02:27.66]Gone the ornamental plaster
[02:30.53]Gone the overgrown demesne
[02:33.08]And the car goes fast and faster
[02:36.26]From Dungarvan in the rain
[02:41.50]In the rain
[03:12.40]Had I kissed and drawn you to me
[03:15.46]Had you yielded warm for cold
[03:18.35]What a power had pounded through me
[03:21.21]As I stroked your streaming gold
[03:24.39]You were right to keep us parted
[03:26.83]Bound and parted we remain
[03:29.76]Aching if unbroken hearted
[03:32.64]Oh Dungarvan in the rain
[03:37.92]In the rain
[03:40.66]Oh Dungarvan in the rain
[03:46.16]In the rain
[03:49.08]In the rain
