The lights of London, are far behind
The thoughts of homeland
are crowding my mind
Familiar places, come in to view
I see my home now, soon I'll see you.
We'll talk to the old
folk, they're getting on
Treat them to late
nights, sing a few songs
We'll talk of the neighbours
and life in the town
There's so much to tell
them, the days fly around.
This is my homeland,
the place I was born in
No matter where I roam it's in my soul
My feet may wander a thousand places
my heart will lead me
back home to my Donegal.
And then tomorrow we'll take a walk
Down to St. Marys to a sheltered spot
We'll kneel and pray there
for the ones that're gone
And hope they're proud
of, their wandering son.
This is my homeland,
the place I was born in
No matter where I roam it's in my soul
My feet may wander a thousand places
my heart will lead me
back home to my Donegal.
This is my homeland,
the place I was born in
No matter where I go it's in my soul
My feet may wander a thousand places
But my heart will lead me
back home to my Donegal.
my heart will lead me
back home to my Donegal
