Carrickfergus Lyrics
I wish I was in Carrickfergus
where she is waiting, my rainbow's 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.
where she is waiting, my rainbow's end
I would swim over the deepest ocean
just to see her sweet smile again
nor have I the wings to fly
I wish I knew a friendly boatman
to ferry me back to my sweetheart's side
the fields of green and flowers gold
where we would walk in sunlit meadows
how my heart's longing to be back home
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
and the day I said goodbye
now and forever my love and I.
