Patrick Lyrics - Kirsty Maccoll

He was a stranger in London at night 

And he felt alone so he followed a light 

Into a bar where the music was loud 

He ordered a pint and got lost in the crowd 

He asked a girl if she wanted to dance 

She turned up her nose and she told him, "No chance" 

He felt rejected and stood by the wall 

And wondered why he'd ever bothered at all 

He missed his family and wished he was home 

With all of those strangers he felt so alone 

Patrick, don't be afraid 

You'll live to laugh another day 

Patrick, don't be afraid 

The cavalry is on the way 

He stood in silence, looked round for a while 

Then he saw a girl and she looked back and smiled 

Then he went over and started to talk 

She looked a bit like his sister in Cork 

He bought her a drink with his last two quid 

When he said, "Come back for a coffee" she did 

Patrick, you've got it made 

You're halfway there, you're on your way 

Patrick, she's not afraid 

And now I bet you're glad you stayed 

Looking so lovely and perfectly groomed 

She showed in the center of Patrick's room 

She was lit up from the inside and out 

Oh, he was enchanted as she moved about 

She touched him like sunlight on cold mountain stone 

And he grew afraid lest she leave him alone 

Patrick, don't be afraid 

You've won the girl and saved the day 

Patrick, you've got it made 

The girl's not going to run away 

Patrick, don't be afraid 

The cavalry is on the way 

Patrick, you've got it made 

Just look outside it's a lovely day
