Carrickfergus

Charlotte Church

I wish I was in carrickfergus
Where the castle looks out to sea.
I would swim over the deepest ocean
For my love to be with me.
But the sea is wide and I can not swim over
Nor have I the wings to fly
I wish I had a handsome boatman,
To ferry me over, my love and i.

I wish I was in the land of arak,
Where the mountains reach the sea.
Where flowers blossom as I do remember.
Where my true love came to me.
But the sea is wide and I can not swim over.
Nor have I the wings to fly.
Ahh to be back now in carrickfergus
To be together .. my love and i.
To be together .. my love and i.

I wish I was in carrickfergus,
To be together my love and i.

I wish I was back home again.

    Beautiful, peaceful, and sublime. Those are the characteristics of Charlotte Church and her music. (Especially this song)

    I LOVE THIS SONG! The music is so beautiful. It surprised me though to find "Carrichfergus" on Loreena McKennitt's CD, though the lyrics were VERY different. I love this version though. Wait, I already said that didn't I.....
