Carrickfergus - Declan Galbraith

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
