Carrickfergus lyrics
by 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
