lyrics

Old Waterford Town
David Tiller (BMI)
I went down to Waterford town
Childhood memories flooding 'round
Some ghosts of old, and the loves grown cold
Still haunt these battle grounds
So I lay down and took my sleep
And dreamed under my old flannel sheets
When I awoke she softly spoke
Looking over me

You are kind as you are cruel
And I'm still being your fool
Old Waterford Town

Who I was not long ago
Is not whom I am today
So many storms weathered and worn
From here to Santa Fe
Yet I can't get far enough from in my mind
I opened my eyes yet I'm still blind
I stumble over my thoughts unkind
Till I have nothing to say

You are kind as you are cruel
And I'm still being your fool
Old Waterford Town

You hide yourself within your song
You sing it softly to the dawn
And unsuspecting I sing along
And I find you in the day
Under a rock beneath a tree
You buried your dreams for the future to see
It was a gift from you to me
And now it is not there

You are kind as you are cruel
And I'm still being your fool
Old Waterford
You are kind as you are cruel
And I'm still being your fool
Old Waterford Town
