from the songs album Enchantment
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 can not 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 arak,
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 can not swim over.
Nor have i the wings to fly.
Ahh to be back now in carrickfergus
To be together .. my love and i.
To be together .. my love and i.
I wish i was in carrickfergus,
To be together my love and i.
I wish i was back home again.
