Funny Lands

There are many funny lands to see
Gorgeous spaces I’ll never climb to
I should leave Longford behind

Some funny lands
I had never expected to see
I’ll never see
I’ll never go to
Edenderry holds me down

Just a shut door before me
And the Shannon is rushing into my veins
But take me to the haven and I’ll be dead

Shut doors and closed windows
It is the souvenir of our coffin
That calls me back

Gorgeous spaces
Here I come
Dundalk left behind

Pretty people won’t let me stifle in peace
But no, they can’t drive out
The forgotten person I am
The liar

Pardon me
‘Cause I meant to make you cry
If you have thought that I loved you
I didn’t mean to

There were many funny lands to see
And gorgeous spaces
I had never climbed to
Some funny lands
I had never expected to see
I will never see
It was the image of you
That called me back
