Last night Danny went sailing
Under a peaceful moon
Over the troubled waters
Down to a quiet lagoon
And i can't help from feeling we failed him
Though I can't say how we could have done more
But last night, Danny went sailing
And he ain't coming back anymore
Young Danny Simon did most of his climbing
In some bedroom town in New York
He was mothered and fathered
He was sent off to Harvard
You can still hear the relatives talk
But the sweet streets of Cambridge
All their share of dangers
And something inside him went snap
Oh, he left home a hero
He was brought down to zero
And now he can't even go back
So last night, Danny went sailing
Under a peaceful moon
Over the troubled waters
Down to a quiet lagoon
And I can't help from feeling we failed him
Though I can't say how we could have done more
But last night, Danny went sailing
And he ain't coming back anymore
Now I don't know how far down he fell into our town
On the streets with the crazy and poor
But they had him committed, he was never acquitted
He got stuck in that revolving door
So he played Jeremiah, the storefront messiah
Preached gospel, told fortunes and laughed
When his daughter was born, he begged money from home
But soon, they just stopped right back
And last night, Daddy went sailing
Under a peaceful moon
Over the troubled waters
Down to a quiet lagoon
And I can't help from feeling we've failed him
Though I can't say how we could have done more
But last night, Danny went sailing
And he ain't coming back anymore
Last night, Danny Simon went laughing and climbing
To a place we call Indian Leap
It's a sheer rocky wall, it's a hundred foot far
To the cool, stony bed of a creek
And he flung his arms wide to the world you can't hide from
He ran down that weary, worn track
He flashed out like a flare, like a cross in the air
And I don't think he ever looked back
And last night, Danny went sailing
Under a peaceful moon
Over the troubled waters
Down to a quiet lagoon
And I can't help from feeling we've failed him
Though I can't say how we could have done more
But last night, Danny went sailing
And he ain't coming back anymore
Under a peaceful moon
Over the troubled waters
Down to a quiet lagoon
And i can't help from feeling we failed him
Though I can't say how we could have done more
But last night, Danny went sailing
And he ain't coming back anymore

And now he can't even go back
