Daniel O'Donnell - My Donegal Shore lyrics

rate me

Oh, I know it’s not right, reminiscing tonight

Of days that are gone and returning no more

For the girl I dream of, has a another mans love

Far, far away on a Donegal shore.

But why should I care for she’s happy o’er there

She may have children, she may be wealthy or poor

But I can’t help my dreams of what might have been

If I stayed at home on my Donegal shore.

Now it’s winter time there, all the trees will be bare

And the rainclouds will darken my native Gweedore

But if that girl I could hold every raindrop would be gold

It could fall all around us on my Donegal shore.

--- Instrumental ---

Now there’s no one to blame but before she took his name

When she told me she loved him, it hurt me to the core

But I could never descend, to be only her friend

So I left her there on my Donegal shore.

Now it’s winter time there, all the trees will be bare

And the rainclouds will darken my native Gweedore

But if that girl I could hold, every raindrop would be gold

It could fall all around us on my Donegal shore.

But if that girl I could hold, every raindrop would be gold

It could fall all around us on my Donegal shore...
