Testo Carrickfergus - Van Morrison & The Chieftains
Testo della canzone Carrickfergus (Van Morrison & The Chieftains), tratta dall'album Irish Heartbeat
I wished I had you in Carrickfergus
Only for nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean
The deepest ocean to be by your side
But the sea is wide, and I can't swim over
And neither have I wings to fly
Oh, I wish I could find me a handy boatman
To ferry me over to my love and die
My childhood days bring back sad reflections
To happy times spent so long ago
My boyhood friends and my own relations
Have all passed on like the melting snow
But I'll spent my days in endless roving
Soft is the grass, and my bed is free
Oh, to be home now in Carrickfergus
On the long road down to the salty sea
And in Kilkenny, it is reported
On marble stones, as black as ink
With gold and silver, I did support her
But I'll sing no more 'til I get a drink
I'm drunk today, and I'm rarely sober
A handsome rover from town to town
Oh, but I am sick and my days are numbered
So come all ye young men and lay me down
