Donegal Shore

Of days that are gone and comming no more.

For the girl I dream of has another man's love,

Far, far away at my Donegal shore.

But why should I care, for she's happy o'er there

She may have children she may be wealthy or poor

But I can't help my dreams of what might have been

If id stayed at home at my Donegal Shore.

Now it's wintertime there, all the trees will be bare

And the rainclouds will darken my native dawn

But if that girl I could hold every raindrop would be gold

It would fall all around us on my Donegal shore.

Now there's noone to blame, but before she took his name

When she told me she loved him it hurt to the core

But I could never descend to be only her friend

So I left her there on my Donegal shore.

Now it's wintertime there, all the trees will be bare

And the rainclouds will darken my native dawn

But if that girl I could hold every raindrop would be gold

It would fall all around us on my Donegal shore.

But if that girl I could hold every raindrop would be gold

It would fall all around us on my Donegal shore
