I was looking from face to face the death and the dangers
I tried to fool them but they were on to me
I don't need apologies I don't need your sorries
Just open the window and drink with me
So pour me a whiskey and bring me a pint
Hey, hey late drummer's wake
Sing me a song raise thy glasses high
Hey, hey late drummer's wake
As I lay here with me sideburns and mustache well shaped
Dressed in the best ones I ever had
My bowler's slightly crooked down beside me
Oh boy we roamed together all those good times
All the clocks on walls stay still while we drink
When you close the window I never return
My best friends and lovers they know my true spirit
You can cry and laugh but sorry don't be
Let's dance around the table and sing those stories
You and I had moments a long story to tell
You lit up the candles to allow my spirit wander
Step aside from my way and drink with me
