Irish Folksongs A Rainy Night In Soho Lyrics

A Rainy Night In Soho Lyrics

I've been loving you a long time

Down all the years, down all the days

And I've cried for all your troubles

Smiled at your funny little
ways

We watched our friends grow up together

And we saw them as
they fell

Some of them fell into Heaven

Some of them fell into
Hell

 

I took shelter from a shower

And I stepped into your
arms

On a rainy night in Soho

The wind was whistling all its
charms

I sang you all my sorrows

You told me all your joys

Whatever happened to that old song

To all those little girls and
boys

 

Now the song is nearly over

We may never find out what
it means

But there's a light I hold before me

And you're the measure
of my dreams

The measure of my dreams

 

Sometimes I wake up in
the morning

The gingerlady by my bed

Covered in a cloak of
silence

I hear you in my head

I'm not singing for the future

I'm not dreaming of the past

I'm not talking of the fist time

I
never think about the last

 

Now the song is nearly over

We
may never find out what it means

Still there's a light I hold before
me

You're the measure of my dreams

The measure of my dreams
