Warren Zevon - Macgillycuddy's Reeks Lyrics
She stood beside my narrow bedto check my E.K.G.She shook her pretty little headAt what's become of meI thought I glimpsed a path that ledThrough rhododendron daysAnd fuchsia nights to the boatshedIn which we two once layBut she gazed only at my chartThe valleys and the peaksBrought back the time she broke my heartIn Macgillycuddy's ReeksBut she gazed only at my chartThe valleys and the peaksBrought back the time she broke my heartIn Macgillycuddy's ReeksI saw her on Killarney's shoreOne morning in JulyWhen I still thought I was a thornTrying to find a sideI met her in the little launchThat runs to InnisfallenHunched together, haunch to haunchTrying to keep my balanceBut she upset my applecartShe kissed me on the cheekAnd I was struck by Cupid's dartIn Macgillycuddy's ReeksMacgillycuddy's ReeksMacgillycuddy's ReeksI was struck by Cupid's dartIn Macgillycuddy's ReeksShe was a systems analystFor a dot com companyShe said, "You think because we've kissedI'll be yours eternallyI'll sign another pre-nupAnd we'll merge our P.L.C.sThat's why most girls go belly-upIn this economyBut when it comes to a jump startYour forecast's pretty bleakThe NASDAQ goes by dips and startsLike Macgillycuddy's ReeksThe NASDAQ goes by dips and startsLike Macgillycuddy's ReeksShe looked only at my chartThe valleys and the peaksBrought back the time she broke my heartIn Macgillycuddy's ReeksMacgillycuddy's ReeksMacgillycuddy's ReeksThat was the time she broke my heartIn Macgillycuddy's Reeks
