farewell to ireland - gearoid mccarthy lyrics
[verse 1]
ah the hills are still green, and the skies are still grey
but the doors of my home, they are closin’ today
ah the rent is too high, and the wages too low
and i’m packin’ my bags and i’ve nowhere to go
ah the pubs are still singin’ and the streets they still hum
but the heart of this place feels numb, oh so numb
and the landlords they rise, while the dreamers they fall
and i’m leavin’ behind the land i love most of all
[chorus]
so farewell to the emerald isle, my heart is in your soil
though i’ll travеl far away from you, forever i’ll be loyal
i’ll carry your spirit whеrever i roam
but tonight i must leave you, i can’t call you my home
[verse 2]
i have walked through the streets where my grandparents stood
ah they worked for their bread and they gave all they could
but the keys to the city are locked up tight
and the young ones are scattered like birds in flight
and the castles still stand, but the people don’t stay
’cause the cost of a roof drives us far, far away
and the laughter’s still warm, but the future’s so cold
and i’m leavin’ my story and my memories untold
[chorus]
so farewell to the emerald isle, my heart is in your soil
though i’ll travel far away from you, forever i’ll be loyal
i’ll carry your spirit wherever i roam
but tonight i must leave you, i can’t call you my home
[instrumental break]
[verse 3]
so i’ll take my leave with a heavy heart
from the land where my story was meant to start
but i’ll sing all your songs, and i’ll tell all your tale
of a country that’s rich, yet its people still fail
[chorus]
so farewell to the emerald isle, my heart is in your soil
though i’ll travel far away from you, forever i’ll be loyal
i’ll carry your spirit wherever i roam
but tonight i must leave you, i can’t call you my home
so farewell to the emerald isle, my heart is in your soil
though i’ll travel far away from you, forever i’ll be loyal
i’ll carry your spirit wherever i roam
but tonight i must leave you, i can’t call you my home
[instrumental outro]
