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
