Thirteen days I been waitin Thirteen days I been hopin' For the wind to blow my way All the time I been prayin’ All the time I been askin’ she might stay ‘Gotta be strong an’ hold on Thirteen days
Thirteen days in the darkness This downtown wilderness Down under doin' my best But it’s cold down here I’m comin’ up just wishin' for some rest I could dream a thousand ways Thirteen days
Well they said that she was trouble But she was just a little strange Now I’m livin' in this bubble in a frozen golden cage
Didn't get dressed up for nothin' Didn't kiss that book all day To be ridin' all this way From a greasy spine of a Donegal mine To the Clifden coast and Galway by the bay When my train comes in I’ll know When my train comes in I’ll know Thirteen days
