Never a stranger to late night

snake bite fist fights and empty pints,

Some were right and some were wrong

It's by the sea and at nights end

that's when the sin and swill begin

inside his head

For every whisper he would scream

for every drought he shared a drink

For every sorrow there is a light from our St. James

On the sea by the cliff he watches,
he waits the night to see

The day - his way

Last call will find us all

But there's a light that leads the way, our way.
