Amber Waves Goodbye
Terry Scott Taylor
You got a ticket in your pocket
So long Danny boy
Apple seed inside your locket
She'll miss you Danny boy
It broke your heart, she poisoned the river
Turned brown the azure sky
And every fallen angel weeps when
Amber waves goodbye
In the red glare, fiery fountain
She lost you Danny boy
Echo down the purple mountain
She calls you Danny boy
Was a time you ran to your mother,
Took her dancing through the rye
Now every fallen angel weeps when
Amber waves goodbye
Spacious skies
In your eyes
Boy, she woke you from that dream
Of youth and innocence
Join the parade of
Heroes betrayed
Whose blind devotion paid the consequence
Now she needs you now
Danny boy
Bright white crosses line the hillside
So long Danny boy
She prayed to heaven
But you still died
Please come back Danny boy
God bless the poor she left in the streets
Lord she heard those babies cry
Those little fallen angels weep cause
Amber waves goodbye
Those little fallen angels weep cause
Amber waves goodbye
