The Taxi's Waiting lyrics
Finbar Furey ft. Aine FureyThe taxi's waiting right by the door
Take care on yourself now and mind how you go
Out there on the road, we'll meet again
Still wishing this day would never end
And one last toast before we're on our way
Beneath sun-filled skies with no room for rain
What a wonderful day to share with a friend
Still wishing this day would never end
Now mind yourself on your way home
And may peace shine down on your Partisan Road
Cos' nobody knows what the future may hold
Maybe one day we'll meet on Partisan Shore
And one last toast before we're on our way
Beneath sun-filled skies with no room for rain
What a wonderful day to share with a friend
Still wishing this day would never end
Instrumental...
If there's a place out there where time can be your friend
And the hardest thing to do is to crawl back into bed
Where there are no trains, no crazy motor-ways
And we don't have to worry that this day will never end
And one last toast before we're on our way
Beneath sun-filled skies with no room for rain
What a wonderful day to share with a friend
Still wishing this day would never end
Instrumental...
