Danny Came Home

Tell us Danny boy, did you see the sights?
Were the landscapes beautiful and green?
Were the seasons benign and kind to you?
Was the journey just as you had dreamed?

Oh the faces and places you must’ve seen,
I wonder about those open and spacious skies,
I remember when you set out to see the world,
Now we can see an untold story in your eyes.

You’ve come home after all these years,
Though sometimes things don't go as planned,
But you’ve come back to us Danny boy!
You left a youth and came back a man.

So here’s a toast to you dear old friend,
We were once sad when you went away,
Rejoice with the old town boys Danny sir,
We raise our glass on this St. Patrick’s Day.
