He was a stranger in london at night   And he felt alone so he followed a light   Into a bar where the music was loud   He ordered a pint and got lost in the crowd   He asked a girl if she wanted to dance   She turned up her nose and she told him "no chance!"   He felt rejected and stood by the wall   And wondered why he'd ever bothered at all   He missed his family and wished he was home   With all of those strangers he felt so alone      Patrick don't be afraid   You'll live to laugh another day   Patrick don't be afraid   The cavalry is on the way      He stood in silence, looked round for a while   Then he saw a girl and she looked back and smiled   Then he went over and started to talk   She looked a bit like his sister in cork   He bought her a drink with his last two quid   When he said "come back for a coffee" she did      Patrick you've got it made   You're halfway there, you're on your way   Patrick she's not afraid   And now I bet you're glad you stayed      Looking so lovely and perfectly groomed   She showed in the centre of patrick's room   She was lit up from the inside and out   Oh he was enchanted as she moved about   She touched him like sunlight on cold mountain stone   And he grew afraid lest she leave him alone      Patrick don't be afraid   You've won the girl and saved the day   Patrick you've got it made   The girl's not going to run away      Patrick don't be afraid   The cavalry is on the way   Patrick you've got it made   Just look outside it's a lovely day
