We're continuing with our Musical Sunday string of beautiful and uplifting music to take our minds off the sad state of affairs in the nation and the world. Our last two Musical Sundays have featured "Angel Mine," by the Cowboy Junkies, and "Song for Judith (Open the Door)" by Judy Collins ... this week, we turn to another of my favorite songs, this one by Charlotte Church ...
Here are the lyrics:
I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Where the castle looks out to sea
I would swim over the deepest ocean
For my love to be with me
But the sea is wide
And I cannot swim over
Nor have I
The wings to fly
I wish I had
A handsome boatman
To ferry me over
My love and I
I wish I was
In the land of Eire
Where the mountains
Reach the sea
Where flowers blossom
As I do remember
Where my true love
Came to me
But the sea is wide
And I cannot swim over
Nor have I
The wings to fly
I wish I was
In Carrickfergus
To be together
My love and I!
I wish I was back home again.....
May you be back home again this holiday season.
Have a great day and enjoy the rest of your weekend. More thoughts coming.
