I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Where she is waiting, my rainbows end
I would swim over the deepest ocean
Just to see her sweet 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 of green and flowers gold
Where we would walk in sunlit meadows
How 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
So I`ll just dream of Carrickfergus
and the day I said goodbye
Now and forever, my love and I
