[00:00.97]Goodbye Ireland
[00:17.09]The moment's drawing nearer now and
[00:20.34]I know this means more than most goodbyes
[00:29.46]I linger on familiar scenes
[00:32.58]It's like looking through a stranger's eyes
[00:41.61]I'm no vagabond traveller in
[00:45.18]My heart you hold all that I hold dear
[00:53.83]In my soul I feel the famine and on my face
[00:59.05]I feel an emerald tear
[01:06.50]Goodbye Ireland I must sail across this ocean alone
[01:15.90]Knowing time's a silent thief knowing should
[01:20.06]I never see you again
[01:25.23]An emptiness shall follow me til' my life's end
[01:31.40]Goodbye Ireland
[01:38.52]The ship lies in the harbor now and the captain
[01:42.34]He'll not wait for nary man
[01:50.15]Tis fair the well I must be saying then quickly
[01:54.91]I will go while I still can
[02:03.22]There's a new world waiting for me and
[02:06.63]I go in search of something that we've lost
[02:15.75]Please say that you'll forgive me for
[02:19.17]My heart's too weak to bare a heavy 'cross
[02:28.05]Goodbye Ireland I must sail across this ocean alone
[02:37.41]Knowing time's a silent thief knowing should
[02:41.57]I never see you again
[02:46.92]An emptiness shall follow me til' my life's end
[02:52.98]Goodbye Ireland
[02:59.21]Goodbye Ireland will I ever see you again
