Carrickfergus
I wish Í was in Carrickfergus.
Where she is waiting, my rainbows end.
I would swim over the deepest ocean
just to see her sweet smile again.
But the sea is wide and I cannot get over.
Nor have I the wings to fly.
I wish I knew a friendly boatman
to ferry me back to my sweetheart's side.
I close my eyes and I remember
the fields of green and flowers gold.
Where we would walk in sunlit meadows.
How my heart's longing to be back home.
But the sea is wide and I cannot get over.
Nor have I the wings to fly.
So I'll just dream of Carrickfergus
and the day I said goodbye.
Now and forever, my love and I.
So I'll just dream of Carrickfergus
and the day I said goodbye
Now and forever, my love and I
