Thread Name: Lyr Req: Home to Donegal (Patsy Cavanagh)
Subject: Lyr Add: HOME TO DONEGAL
Here you are Mick.
HOME TO DONEGAL
The lights of London, are far behind
The thoughts of my homeland, Are crowding my mind
Familiar places, come into view
I see my home now, soon I'll see you
CHORUS: This is my Homeland, the place I was born in
No matter where I roam, it's in my soul
My feet may wander, a thousand places
But my heart will lead me back home, to my Donegal
Talk to the old folk, Lord they're getting on
Treat them to late nights, sing a few songs
We'll talk of the neighbours, & life in the town
There's so much to tell them, the days fly around
And then tomorrow, we'll take a walk
Down to St. Mary's, to a sheltered spot
We'll kneel and pray there, for the ones that have gone
And hope that they're proud of their wandering son
Hope you are keeping well. Regards, Mick Bracken
