These Are the Days - Paul Kelly

I got a long-legged girl

We go all around the world

No one knows the shape we’re in

In a first floor yellow room

In the middle of the afternoon

We breathe out and we breathe in

We’re giving it all away

We’re giving it all away

These are the days, these are the days

She don’t believe in God

Or Jesus Christ our Lord

But she likes to call their names

She wants a little baby child

And she’s running out of time

She needs a man who wants the same

We’re giving it all away

We’re giving it all away

These are the days, these are the days

Days of aching sunshine, days of sweetest rain

Days we know will never come again

I got a long-legged girl

With a laugh like a-ringing a bell

She sets my heart aflame

She don’t believe in God

Or Jesus Christ our Lord

But she sure loves to call their names

We’re giving it all away

We’re giving it all away

These are the days, these are the days

Got a hard-headed girl

She’s ringing a bell

Only time will tell
