Ah, your kiss takes me back, takes me back from all this
The ashes were fallin' like the snow drops of old
Well, into madness with each setting sun
Far away boys, far away boys
The only thing growin' was my will to die
They're only paddys, just paddys, don't dig them too deep
I'm lyin' with my sweetheart
In her arms I'll be found
Never again, will I smell your sweet dream
In her arms I'll be found
Then the sun belched upon me, you were no longer here
In her arms I'll be found
Away from ya now
Someone said, it was Christmas but not a tree was in sight
Away from ya now
Far away boys, far away boys
But a pissed stained ol' gutter where your lips used to be
Lyin' in your place was my hammer and my gear
Till the gaffer said, "Men, your work here is done"
With the heat I was melting into your sweet lips
Far away boys, far away boys
We came to a mountain, dynamite and she'll blow
I'm lyin' with my sweetheart
A big hole in that rock like the one in my soul
So I stamped out the fire that kept us both warm
I'm lyin' with my sweetheart
I said, "I'll see you in Hell, on that train we died for"
We buried four workmen, they dug themselves well
From four empty coffins to four early graves
I'm lyin' with my sweetheart
Far away boys, far away boys
With me by the ol' tree, where no one could care
Away from ya now
In her arms I'll be found
You'll need all your strength boys and they're replaced easily
I put my head down and I dreamt you were here
Away from ya now
Far away boys, far away boys
I'm lyin' with my sweetheart
Away from ya now
I hammered and I hammered for God knows how long
