The Foggy Superintendent
[Verse] Through Dublin's lanes in ghostly light He comes on foggy Troubled nights Searching for the wayward lost In shadows where life's hope is crossed [Verse 2] His coat a shroud of darkest gray Eyes like mist They'd steal your day Boots that echo with each stride Where silent fears and whispers hide [Chorus] The foggy superintendent roams Seeking children far from homes In the eerie gloam Beware Of his slow and steady stare [Verse 3] The workhouse stern His chilling creed To gather strays with stealthy speed Names he'll scribble on his list In slum’s tight grip no child is missed [Verse 4] Cobblestones cry out their sound Lost souls tremble Not yet found Through the veil of fog he peers Feeding on their hidden fears [Bridge] In alleys dank and windowless The gaslight's glow a frightful mess Echoes of his call resound In these empty streets So tightly bound
