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 scream 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 are green and flowers gold

Where we would walk on sun-lit meadows

Now 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

Ayya

So i'll just dream of carrickfergus

And the day i said goodbye

Now and forever my love and i
