Takes two to get together

it takes times to make it last

Should we all end up in some ways

like the drink in last night's glass?

But we take this chance together

let's not think about the end

Never mind the strangers

'cause I'll always be your friend

until the end

We've crossed the seas together

and we've had our ups and downs

We've gone farther than we ever dreamed

from our county Galway town

Well if we're on top tomorrow

or if it all just ends

Never mind the strangers

'cause I'll always be your friend

until the end

Oh it hasn't all been easy

but sure, that's the way it goes

Been shaken, rapped, and ratted

Taken jabs and bloody blows

But there's a stength in bein' together

Like a steel bar that won't bend

Never mind the strangers

'cause I'll always be your friend

until the end

Even now it's hard to think back

When did it all begin?

Was it some night drinkin' at gay Brown's Paul

Where me soul is welcomed in

And this fine summer's evening

as the blue of night descends

Never mind the strangers

'cause I'll always be your friend

until the end

We've seen the other side o' life

Nothin' to impress

Doesn't beat a day at home if

you put it to the test

But at least we took the challenge

We didn't just pretend

Never mind the strangers

'cause I'll always, always be your friend

until the end

Oh!

Let's have a fair maid!
