RONAN KEATING - Carrickfergus lyrics

rate me

<BR>

I wished I had you in Carrickfergus,<br>

Only for nights in Ballygrand,<br>

I would swim over the deepest ocean,<br>

The deepest ocean to be by your side.<br>

<br>

But the sea is wide and I can't swim over<br>

And neither have I wings to fly.<br>

I wish I could find me a handy boatman<br>

To ferry me over to my love and die.<br>

<br>

My childhood days bring back sad reflections<br>

Of happy days so long ago.<br>

My boyhood friends and my own relations.<br>

Have all passed on now like the melting snow.<br>

<br>

So I'll spend my days in endless roving,<br>

Soft is the grass and my bed is free.<br>

Oh to be home now in Carrickfergus,<br>

On the long road down to the salty sea.<br>

<br>

And in Kilkenny it is reported<br>

On marble stones as black as ink,<br>

With gold and silver I did support her<br>

But I'll sing no more now till I get a drink.<br>

<br>

For I'm drunk today and I'm rarely sober,<br>

A handsome rover from town to town.<br>

Oh but I am sick now and my days are numbered<br>

So come on ye young men and lay me down.<br>

<BR><BR>
