Donegal

The day I arrived, I dove into the sea
And pleaded, "Donegal, please look after me"
I broke the surface, and the cold water shocked me
It brought me to, I said "I'll look after you, too"

(Is there a home? Is there a home?)

The day I left home, my mother said to me
"Whatever you do, don't fall in love
Please come back to me"
Well, I'm sorry, mum, I've gone and done it
The moss and the views, and that lovely man too, ooh

Is there a home out here, for me, forever?
Have I found home out here, for me, forever?
Is there a home out here for me, with you, forever?
Have I found a home here, for me, with you, forever?

Today I join the well-trodden queue
Of British people desperately in love with you
Aware of history, and our vast lack of knowledge
Can I even be here?
I swear I'll honour my promise
(Donegal, Donegal, Donegal)

Is there a home out here, for me, forever?
Have I found home out here, for me, forever?
Is there a home out here for me, with you, forever?
Have I found a home here, for me, with you, forever?

Donegal, please look after me
