Lyrics

I got on a boat
With a bag full of clothes
Outside Belfast
The whole family, they came
Just to wave me away
The first of our lads
Sure I'll book a flight home
If I feel that
This move isn't working
But that's just a lie
That I say sometimes times
To keep on going
Cause only a few miles apart
But the distance
It tears up my heart
When I think of back home
Ireland
In the big city life
You can stay out all night
Until morning
And the bonds that you mould
As your future unfolds
Without warning
Sure I was only 18
I'm allowed to be free
Look where I've been
And although I'm away
I'll still call everyday
So don't you worry
Cause only a few miles apart
But the distance
It tears up my heart
When I think of home
Ireland
Cause only a few miles apart
But the distance
It tears up my heart
When I think of back home
When I think of home
When I think of home
Ireland
