I I was in Carrickfergus where she is waiting, my rainbow's end I would swim over deepest ocean just to see her sweet smile again
but sea is wide and I cannot get over nor have I the wings to I wish I knew a friendly boatman to ferry me back to my sweetheart's side
I close my eyes and I remember the of green flowers gold where we would walk in sunlit meadows how my heart's longing be back home
but the sea is wide and I cannot get over nor have I the wings to fly so I’ll dream of Carrickfergus and the day I said goodbye and forever my love and I
so I’ll just dream of Carrickfergus and the day said goodbye now and forever my love and I.
