It takes two to get together It takes time to make it last We'll all end up in some way Like the drink in last night's glass But we'll take this chance together Let's not think about the end Never mind the strangers, 'cos I'll always be your friend Until the end
We've crossed the sea together We've had our ups and downs We've gone further than we've ever dreamed From our county Galway town If we're up on top tomorrow Or if it all just ends Never mind the strangers, 'cos I'll always be your friend Until the end
It hasn't all been easy But sure that's the way it goes We've been shaken, rocked and rattled Taken jabs and body blows There's a strength in being together Like a steel bar that won't bend Never mind the strangers, 'cos 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 drinking in Gay Browne’s pub Every soul is welcomed in On this fine summer's evening As the blue of night descends Never mind the strangers, 'cos I'll always be your friend Until the end
We've seen the other side of life And not been too impressed It 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, 'cos I'll always Always be your friend Until the end
