Three Irish Tenors, The
The Contender

When I was young and I was in my day
Sure I'd steal what womans heart there was away
And I'd sing into the morning
Saw a blaze into the morning
Long before I was the man you see today.

I was born beneath the star that promised all
I could live my life without Cassandra's call
But the wheel of fortune took me
From the highest point she shook me
By the bottle, by the bottle I should fall

There in the mirror on the wall
I see the dream is fading
From the contender to the fall
The ring, the rose, the matador, raving

When I die I'll die a drunk down on the street
He will count me out to ten in clear defeat
Wrap the Starry Plough around me
Let the pipers air resound me there
There I rest until the Lord of Love I meet

There in the mirror on the wall
I see the dream is fading
From the contender to the brawl
The ring, the rose, the matador, raving.


Mirror lyrics:

The ring, the rose, the matador, raving.
From the contender to the brawl
I see the dream is fading
There in the mirror on the wall

There I rest until the Lord of Love I meet
Let the pipers air resound me there
Wrap the Starry Plough around me
He will count me out to ten in clear defeat
When I die I'll die a drunk down on the street

The ring, the rose, the matador, raving
From the contender to the fall
I see the dream is fading
There in the mirror on the wall

By the bottle, by the bottle I should fall
From the highest point she shook me
But the wheel of fortune took me
I could live my life without Cassandra's call
I was born beneath the star that promised all

Long before I was the man you see today.
Saw a blaze into the morning
And I'd sing into the morning
Sure I'd steal what womans heart there was away
When I was young and I was in my day
