The bonfires blazed across the city
The smoke swirling into the sky
We were standing shoulder to shoulder
Billy McCann and I
Our faces ruddy and burning
As we stared into the flames
But I know now the things that we saw that night
Were not the same
And I see you as I walk away
Standing by your barricade
It's all over now between us
Billy McCann goodbye
So we'll sit up at the bar for the last time
They way we used to do
And I'll toast the love that you showed me
And the faith I gave to you
And we can drive out and watch the sunrise
From the top of the Glenshane Pass
And I won't make you answer the questions
I've always tried to ask
Now I see you as I walk away
Standing still by your barricade
It's all over now between us
Billy McCann goodbye
I see you as I walk away
Standing by your barricade
And though you never will forgive me
Billy McCann goodbye
