Intro
Verse 1
At Half Past Eight, When The Rain Comes Down
The Lanterns Glow Through The Alehouse Brown
Old Boots Dragging From The Cobbled Street
With Tired Old Hearts And Wandering Feet
A Grey- Haired Man By The Corner Flame
Says, Lad, Do You Know An Old Refrain?
I Lost The Words, But I Know The Pain
That Sang Like Youth In The Summer Rain
So Lift The Tune Where The Old Dreams Hide
Let Every Sorrow Find The Tide
Chorus
Pour Me A Song Tonight, My Friend
Let The Fiddle And Whistle Rise
We've All Come Here With A Little Hurt
And A Longing In Our Eyes
So Play Us Warm, Play Us Bright
Till The Shadows Feel All Right
Pour Me A Song, Old Friend
Pour Me A Song Tonight
Instrumental
Verse 2
Sean At The Bar Keeps A Laughing Face
He Fills Every Glass Like He Owns The Place
But When The Room Turns Quiet And Low
You Can Hear The Dream He Never Let Go
He Says I Was Meant For The Silver Screen
Not Polishing Glasses Behind The Green
But The Years Rolled In Like The Evening Tide
And Buried The Boy I Kept In Sight
So Raise Your Glass To The Roads Not Crossed
And All The Younger Songs We Lost
Chorus
Pour Me A Song Tonight, My Friend
Let The Fiddle And Whistle Rise
We've All Come Here With A Little Hurt
And A Longing In Our Eyes
So Play Us Warm, Play Us Bright
Till The Shadows Feel All Right
Pour Me A Song, Old Friend
Pour Me A Song Tonight
Instrumental
Verse 3
It's A Fine Old Crowd For A Rainy Night
And The Landlord Knocks By The Amber Light
For He Knows They Come When The World Feels Thin
To Lose Their Sorrow In The Songs I Sing
The Piano Rings Like A Fairground Bell
The Fiddle Cries Where The Old Tales Dwell
Coins Fall Soft In The Weather Jar
And Someone Says, Lad, You Should Be A Star
Chorus
Pour Me A Song Tonight, My Friend
Let The Fiddle And Whistle Rise
We've All Come Here With A Little Hurt
And A Longing In Our Eyes
So Play Us Warm, Play Us Bright
Till The Shadows Feel All Right
Pour Me A Song, Old Friend
Pour Me A Song Tonight
Pour Me A Song, Old Friend
Pour Me A Song Tonight
