4. One More Tune

Lyrics • The Ghosts Of Dál Riata

Verse 1

King Street shining through the evening rain

Warm light spilling from a weathered frame

Push the door open, leave the city at the wall

A fiddle starts a melody and suddenly that's all

Old timber, old stories, old laughter in the air

Faces turning toward the music like a whispered prayer

Someone starts singing and the whole room joins along

Like they've been waiting all week just to lose themselves in song

Pre-Chorus

The world outside can carry on

We've got nowhere else to belong

Chorus

I don't wanna leave this room tonight

Jameson gold and Smithfield lights

You beside me, the fiddles carrying on

Like the whole damn city's singing along

Let the morning find us when it can

We've got nowhere else to stand

For a few short hours we're not alone

One more tune in The Cobblestone

Verse 2

I've heard these melodies all of my life

Floating through summers and cold winter nights

Never really noticed how much they were mine

Till I saw them reflected through somebody else's eyes

Every chorus, every story, every face inside this room

Feels brighter than I remember, like something in bloom

Funny how a place you've known since before you could speak

Can feel brand new again in a single week

Pre-Chorus

The world outside can carry on

We've got nowhere else to belong

Chorus

I don't wanna leave this room tonight

Jameson gold and Smithfield lights

You beside me, the fiddles carrying on

Like the whole damn city's singing along

Let the morning find us when it can

We've got nowhere else to stand

For a few short hours we're not alone

One more tune in The Cobblestone

Bridge

When the last glass empties

And the lights burn low

Will these songs still follow

Everywhere we go?

Bridge Response

Some nights disappear

Before the dawn arrives

Some nights leave a mark

For the rest of your life

Build

Hold this moment

Don't let go

One more tune

In The Cobblestone

Final Chorus

I don't wanna leave this room tonight

Jameson gold and Smithfield lights

You beside me, the fiddles carrying on

Like the whole damn city's singing along

Let the morning find us when it can

We've got nowhere else to stand

For a few short hours we're not alone

One more tune in The Cobblestone

One more tune...

One more tune...

One more tune in The Cobblestone
