Irish Coffee "The Beginning Or The End"

(lyrics self-transcribed)

* From album: "Irish Coffee"

I saw a child picking flowers today

I saw a woman crying for her dead man's grave

Has my God locked down my car

Lifted up my head and I asked myself why

Why are we living here 

And where did all the dead people send? 

Is life on Earth the beginning 

Or is it the end? 

And I wonder 

I wonder

Will we return to another land someday? 

Or die right here and never be elsewhere? 

The years we spend on Earth are going fast

Is there someone to tell me at last?

Why are we living here 

And where did all the dead people send? 

Is life on Earth the beginning 

Or is it the end? 

I just wonder

I wonder

What's become of me? 

Where I'm going to be? 

What am I going to see?

Why are we living here 

And where all the dead people send? 

Is life on Earth the beginning 

Or is it the end?

I said, why are we living here 

And where did all the dead people send? 

Is life on Earth the beginning 

Or is it the end?

Irish Coffee "Can't Take It"

(lyrics found and bit modified)

* From album: "Irish Coffee"

Video (with shorter version of song)

Longer version:

All the hurt you do me

Woman you just fool me

Do you really want me down?

You just laugh at my face

And you're ruining my days

You don't want me hanging around

I really cannot take much more girl

But I find it hard to break up

I can't take it

You're just changing like the weather

Since the day that we're together

Are you trying to pull me out?

You're part of the devil

Surely won't go to heaven

But I love you there's no doubt

I really cannot take much more girl

But I find it hard to break up

I can't take it

(+ For full version:)

All the hurt you do me

Woman you just fool me

Do you really want me down?

You just laugh at my face

And you're ruining my days

You don't want me hanging around

I really cannot take much more girl

But I find it hard to break up

I can't take it

Don't you laugh at my face

Don't you ruin my days

'Cause I can't take much more girl

Don't you try to put me down

To the ground

'Cause I need you

Don't ground your love

'Cause I love you
