Danny's Den
Castlecomer Lyrics

Oh the times they go so fast, look forward don't look back,
Time passes quickly, so it's better to focus on the future and not dwell on the past.

It gets ahead of me, so I sit reflectively,
Time moves so fast that the singer must sit and reflect on their life.

Did I travel seven seas, or cure a rare disease?
The singer questions whether they have done anything significant or noteworthy in their life.

Did I lie with you at night? Or just get drunk and fight.
The singer questions whether their experiences with love have been genuine or if they have just engaged in destructive behaviors.

Camel through the eye, Danny the lion's guy, Teach me what I know, oh these years did fly, I tamed the beasts you sent, controlled the elements, I loved, I lost, I cried, I took it in my stride,
The singer has faced challenges and obstacles in life, symbolized by the mention of animals and elemental forces, but has learned to accept these experiences and emotions with grace and composure.

Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring, what I said I meant everything,
The singer is emphasizing the importance of their words and actions throughout all seasons of life.

I was battered black and blue, but you got, you got me through.
Despite experiencing hardships, the singer had someone to rely on and help them through those tough times.

Why do I run from myself, I run from me, I'm so old and wise now, I'm so young and free.
The singer questions why they feel the need to distance themselves from their own identity, acknowledging that they have grown and learned from their experiences but still feel young and carefree.

Camel through the eye, Danny the lion's guy, Teach me what I know, oh these years did fly, I tamed the beasts you sent, controlled the elements, I loved, I lost, I cried, I took it in my stride.
Repeating the chorus, the singer continues to reflect on their past experiences, emphasizing their ability to handle challenges and learn from them.
