QUOTE:
I'm tired Joey-boy
While you're out with the sheep
My life is so troubled
That I can't get to sleep
I would walk myself out
But the streets are so dark
I shall wait til the morning
And walk in the park
Cause life is so simple
When one is at home
And I'm never complaining
Where there's work to be done
Oh I'm tired Joey-boy
Of the makings of men
I would like to be cheerful again
Ambition will take you and ride you too far
And conservatism bring you to boredom once more
Sit down by the river and watch the stream flow
Recall all the dreams that you once used to know
Things you've forgotten that took you away
To pastures not greener but meaner
Love that is simple is all that I need
I've no time for schism or lovers of greed
Go up to the mount then
Go up to the glen
Where silence will touch you
And heartbreak will mend.
