It takes two to get together   It takes time to make it last   'Till we'll all end up in some ways   Like the drink in last night's glass   But we take this chance together   Let's not think about the end   Never mind the strangers 'cause I'll always   Be your friend   Until the end      We've crossed the seas together   We've had our ups and downs   We've gone further then we ever dreamed   From our county Galway town   Well, if we're up on top tomorrow   Or if it all just ends   Never mind the strangers 'cause I'll always   Be your friend   Until the end      Oh, it hasn't all been easy   But sure, that's the way it goes   Been shaken, rocked, and rattled   Taken jabs and body blows   But there's a strength in being together   Like a steel bar that won't bend   Never mind the strangers 'cause I'll always   Be your friend   Until the end      Even now it's hard to think back   When did it all begin   Was it some night drinking in Gay Brown's Call   Every soul is welcomed in   On this fine summer's evening   And the blue of night descends   Never mind the strangers 'cause I'll always   Be your friend   Until the end      We've seen the other side of life   And not been too impressed   It doesn't beat a day at home   If you put it to the test   But at least we took the challenge   We didn't just pretend   Never mind the strangers 'cause I'll always   Always be your friend   Until the end
