Carrickfergus Lyrics

Declan Galbraith Carrickfergus

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
