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.
Chorus
But the sea is wide and I cannot get over. Nor have I the wings to fly.
I wish I knew a friendly boatsman to ferry me back to my sweethearts side.
I close my eyes and I remember the fields of green and flowers gold.
Where we would walk in sunlit meadows. How my hearts longing to be back home.
Chorus
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.
