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.
