Third bonus track from Dan Warner & The Night Parrots' 2022 album, 'Maybe, then...'
lyrics
ST PATRICK AND ST MICHAEL (Borrack/Warner)
Goodnight, dear St Patrick
Though your choirs of angels have quietly packed it in
And sweet dreams to you, St Michael
Please, let just one more pilgrim sing
If there’s time for one more confession
Before this box, before this box of evening falls
Like you, we were beautiful
We just fell on the wrong side of that churchyard wall
So, goodnight, St Patrick,
Sweet dreams, St Michael
Like you, we were too beautiful
When we fell down on these downtown streets
Goodnight, dear St Patrick
Don’t forget those of us all still green with the hope of spring
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams St Michael
Please, let us hear your choirs of angels sing
Like you, we were beautiful
When we walked down, we walked down these ugly streets
Like you, like you, we always believed that after all
After all, someone would finally let us sleep
So, so, goodnight, St Patrick
Sweet dreams, St Michael
Like you, we were too beautiful
When we fell down on these downtown streets
These downtown streets

What a belter of an album. Stands tall with all his solo / band work including ICH. Great clarity of sound, arrangements and production. Brilliant melodies. Mature lyrics.
Keep punching Chuck, you’re an undeclared national treasure. mart_oconnor
