Lyrics
Which way to Ireland I'd like to know/I left my home
town long years ago/I've drifted aimless lost in the
dark/which way to Ireland/back to your heart
I left a young man down to the sea/in love with
fortune/in love with me/I've drifted aimless without
you're your star/which way back to Ireland/back to your heart
And it's a long long way back home
Will you still know me there at your door/can you
still love me like once before?
I've drifted aimless I've come so far/which way to
Ireland/back to your heart
And it's a long long way back home
