The Kilburn High Road Lyrics - Drunken Lullabies - Flogging Molly

Many's the day, I took for granted 

Breathing the air that silenced some 

The North wind blew It's head asunder 

Beating it's breast with a war drenched song 

Bathe awhile, awash in slumber 

Cry what's left to sleep 

When you dream of the love ya left forever 

But pity no more nor grieve 

So we're the kings of it all 

The day we were born 

Yeah we're the kings of the Kilburn High 

Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave a sup 

Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye 

We were the kings of the Kilburn High 

Listen to the sound of dead men dying 

March as they flee but exile bound 

Their ship once sailed no longer anchors 

For gone is the green 

And their hallowed ground 

Toast to tears of times past glories 

This ageless clock chime stalls 

Where to kiss the lips of love forgotten 

To fly where no others have soared 

So we're the kings of it all 

The day we were born 

Now we're the kings of the Kilburn High 

Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave us up 

Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye 

We were the kings of the Kilburn High 

We were the kings of the Kilburn High 

Toast to tears of times past glories 

This ageless clock chime stalls 

Where to kiss the lips of love forgotten 

To fly where no others have soared 

So were the kings of it all 

The day we were born 

Now we're the kings of the Kilburn High 

Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave us up 

Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye 

So were the kings of it all 

The day we were born 

Now we're the kings of the Kilburn High 

Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave us up 

Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye 

We were the kings of the Kilburn High 

We were the kings of the Kilburn High 

Oh Mary, this London's a wonderful sight
