The rain came down all afternoon, the sky was cold and grey, The landlord wants his money and the bills won't go away. But there's a light above the door and music drifting strong, So we leave our troubles outside and come inside for song. [Chorus] Here's to sorrow pints and singalongs, To the friends who stayed when the luck was gone. Raise your glass and sing it loud, We're kings and queens among this crowd. For a broken heart still beats along, With sorrow pints and singalongs. [Verse 2] Old Tommy lost his factory job, young Billy lost his bride, Mary swears she'll quit the drink, but not tonight, she smiled. The fiddler starts a rebel tune, the whole room sings along, And every soul in the building knows the words before too long. [Chorus] Here's to sorrow pints and singalongs, To the friends who stayed when the luck was gone. Raise your glass and sing it loud, We're kings and queens among this crowd. For a broken heart still beats along, With sorrow pints and singalongs. [Bridge] Tomorrow might bring hard times, Tomorrow might bring rain, But tonight we're all together, And that's enough to ease the pain. [Instrumental Break] [Whistle, fiddle and crowd vocals] [Final Chorus] Here's to sorrow pints and singalongs, To the dreamers who keep carrying on. Raise your glass and sing it loud, Till the last call echoes through the crowd. And if life goes wrong, we'll still belong, To sorrow pints and singalongs. [Outro] When the candles burn to embers and the bartender calls time, We'll stumble home a little poorer, but richer in our minds. For the world outside is cold enough, and life can feel too long, Thank God for sorrow pints and singalongs.
