Main point I can make about this song is that it obviously refers to a trip to Ireland, as the reference to Sligo makes clear. Shane's rather morbid impressions never made much sense to me until I went to Ireland for myself. It's a beautiful country, yet there's a definite sense of haunting to the land, especially in the west. Givin the facts of Ireland's history (the Famine, continuous warfare) this is really not suprising. Stumble around drunk after midnight out in the countryside and you'll definitly get a feel for what Shane's talking about. There are ghosts out there, and you don't have to see them to feel their presence.
@SaintJim Ever see ‘Return To Glennascaul’ with Orson Welles? It’s a good little ghost story, 23 minutes long, from 1952, while Orson was filming ‘Othello’.
