Declan Galbraith Lyrics

Carrickfergus

I wish I was in Carrickfergus.
Where she is waiting, my rainbows 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.
