Lyrics
IS DAVY ALRIGHT ?
I left him running, I was dead on my feet
I heard some angry voice shout out in the street
I saw the glint of a switch blade, heard the shot of a gun
I found refuge in a safe house
But my brothers still on the run
Is Davy alright? is Davy alright?
He weren't up for the fight
Is Davy alright?
Now I haven't seen him, for 3 weeks or more
Is he still a running man, or is he running away no more
I keep my ear to the airwaves, my eye upon the ball
I found Jesus in a church house
But it don't give me no peace at all
Is Davy alright? is Davy alright?
He never started the fight
Is Davy alright?
Is Davy alright? is Davy alright?
He got lost in the night
Is Davy alright?
Instrumental bit
They found a broken body,washed up on the shore
Another grieving mother, buries her son once more
No it wasn't my brother, but it could be next time
I've got to keep on searching
I know this mistake was mine
Is Davy alright, is Davy alright,
He never started the fight
Is Davy alright?
Is Davy alright ,is Davy alright
He's too young to die
Is Davy alright ?
Is Davy alright?
