Desiree
Paddy Goes to Holyhead Lyrics

There was a queen down in Amsterdam,
A prominent woman was in Amsterdam

dressed up in silk and black negligee
She was wearing a silk and black negligee dress

After the tempest she is so calm,
Despite hardships in life, she remains calm

no one comes near her serenity
No one can disrupt the queen's peacefulness

She once had a house down in Hollywood,
She used to have a house in Hollywood

living her life was a fantasy
Her lifestyle in Hollywood was dreamlike

Now she has cooled off her red hot blood,
Nowadays, she has a more relaxed temperament

now she sits down drinking perfum tea
She enjoys drinking perfume tea while sitting

Desiree - look at the stars, fallen at your feet
Oh Desiree, take note of the stars at your feet

Desiree - what are you waiting for, who are you going to meet
Desiree, what's stopping you? Who will you encounter?

The queen now has driven to sunny Spain,
The queen has gone to sunny Spain by driving

she lives in a bungalow on the beach
She currently resides in a beach bungalow

She′s had a black sorrow sadness and pain,
She has experienced a deep feeling of sadness and pain

now she´s completely gone out of reach
Now, she's unreachable

The waters are calling calling to you,
The water is calling out to the queen

and you listen cleary to what they say
She heeds their message attentively

Now you know what it is you must do,
She now understands what needs to be done

now you are leaving and on your way
She departs and sets out on a journey

Desiree - look at the stars, fallen at your feet
Oh Desiree, take note of the stars at your feet

Desiree - what are you waiting for, who are you going to meet
Desiree, what's stopping you? Who will you encounter?
