Danforth Boy

“Oh Danforth boy
The pipes, the pipes are calling
From summit to summit and down the mountain side
Your sanities gone and your expeditions fallen
It’s you, it’s you, who must go and not hide
But come you back to the Mountains of Madness
To those mountains forlorn, and white with snow
I’ll be here in freezing shadow
Oh Danforth boy, oh Danforth boy, I own you so
But if you come and all the Elder Things are sleeping
And I am sleeping as sleeping I will may be
You come and find the place where I am resting
And you’ll then see your soul belongs to me
And I’ll know your soft tread near me
And then my home will richer, sweeter be
And you’ll draw close and whisper that you fear me
And I’ll rest in peace knowing your sanity belongs to me.”
An obvious spoof on Danny Boy
