Oh Donegal
You let me down
It was not your fault
It was in my mind
But Down you lift me up
Every time I see
Your giant's cup
and all that's etched
In memory.
Sometimes it takes
A place
Before you see
It's not where you are,
It's how you feel.
My home
I'll never know
I'm a stranger
Among my own
But the truth is
Stranger still
Like a standing stone
Upon a hill
I stand alone
Like a bird in the sky
I belong here
Without ever knowing why
The further apart we go
the more my love for you
Will only grow
