Carrickfergus lyrics

I wish I was in Carrickfergus,
Only for nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean,
The deepest ocean, for my love to find
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
Neither have I the wings to fly
If I could find me a handsome boatman
To ferry me over, to my love and die

My childhood days bring back sad reflections
Of happy times spent so long ago,
My childhood friends and my own relations
Have all passed on now like melting snow
But I'll spend my days in endless roaming,
Soft is the grass, my bed is free
Ah, to be back now in Carrickfergus,
On that long road down to the sea

I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober
And run have I from town to town.
But I am sick now and my days are numbered.
Come all you young men and lay me down.

    The song is about someone who wants go back to the land where she came from. she was looking for love in a land over the ocean. after a wile she wants to go back where she came from. Something that stops her and that her deadly diseas. At the last days she brings some with tears memory's up of her youth,happy times and friends that fly by .
    It is a beautifull sad song but i like it. Right trough my hart and soul that it sometimes make me almost cry. It remind me that i have it not so bat than other people that are sick and or cannot be at there homeland with there famely.
