By the shores of the Swilly, two at play The king of the castle, the queen of the may Just and my sister, in a world of pretend Where the sun would shining, the day never end
By the shores of the Swilly, now with kids of our own Another year over, and see how grown Then we'd watch the last sunset, and walk arm in arm Till I you next summer; God keep you from harm if I was a flier who crashed now and then, she would put me together and me again.
[ Piano ]
And if I was a flier who crashed now and then, she would put me together fly me again. By the shores of Swilly, with an aching inside I'll watch as her body is raised from the tide... Her life has been taken, I'll never know why but I feel in that moment, a part of me died...
