暮色之中

　　Danny, dying of Aids, returns home for his last months. Always close to his mother, they share moments of openness that tend to shut out Danny's father and his sister. 　　Lyrics of Danny boy 　　Oh Danny boy, the pipes, 　　the pipes are calling 　　From glen to glen, 　　and down the mountain side 　　The summer's gone, 　　and all the flowers are falling 　　'Tis you, 'tis you 　　must go and I must bide 　　But come ye back 　　when summer's in the meadow 　　Or when the valley's hushed 　　and white with snow 　　'Tis I'll be there 　　in sunshine or in shadow 　　Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, 　　I love you so 　　And when you come, 　　and all the flowers are dying 　　If I am dead, 　　as dead I may well be 　　Ye'll come and find 　　a place where I am lying 　　And kneel and say 　　an "Ave" there for me 　　And I shall hear, 　　though soft your tread above me 　　And all my grave 　　shall warmer sweeter be 　　For you will bend 　　and tell me that you love me 　　And I shall rest 　　in peace until you come to me 　　But if I live 　　and should you die for Ireland 　　Let not your dying thoughts 　　be just of me 　　But say a prayer to God 　　for our dearest Island 　　I know He'll hear 　　and help to set her free 　　And I will take your pike 　　and place my dearest 　　And strike a blow, 　　though weak the blow may be 　　Twill help the cause 　　to which your heart was nearest 　　Oh Danny Boy, Oh, Danny boy 　　I love you so.
