Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ah Paddy
Me uncle
You slipped out with the dawn
Kettle still on the counter
Your old boots by the lawn
We sat at your kitchen
You’d call me “mo chroí”
Now there’s just the ticking
And your chair starin’ at me
[Chorus]
Goodnight
Uncle Paddy
Sleep easy
A stór
We’ll sing you home gentle
Like the waves on the shore
Raise one for your stories
For the laugh and the craic
Goodnight
Uncle Paddy
We’ll mind what you left back
[Verse 2]
Your hands smelled of turf smoke
Of rain and of rope
You’d curse at the weather
Then pour one for hope
You danced at the weddin’s
With a pint held up high
Said
“Life’s only borrowed
So drink it
Don’t cry”
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I’ll walk past the churchyard
Hear your voice in the breeze
Sayin’
“Don’t be too broken
Sure I’m grand
I’m at ease”
So I’ll talk to your picture
In that frame by the range
‘Cause love doesn’t vanish
Only shape
Only change
[Chorus]

Style
Soft indie-folk ballad with Irish trad colors; gentle fingerpicked acoustic guitar, low whistle, and quiet fiddle swells. Male vocals with a slight lilt, intimate and close-mic’d. Verses stay hushed and storytelling; chorus rises with warm harmonies and a steady kick on the root. Bridge strips back to almost a cappella before the instruments bloom for a final, bittersweet refrain.
