Belfast Town

Looking at the colours of the Belfast Hills
From my ugly pee-stained boat
I wonder how I left this place
Hidden in the post in a mess of bills
I found the letter that you wrote
It made me want to see your face

Sing to me as I come into shore my Love
Bring to me what you did before
Show me your love and your hate and I'll settle the score my Love
Sing to me - Bring to me what you did before.

I'll meet you at the bottom of a dead end street
Outside the Rotterdam
If they haven't dragged it down
Seeing all the people that we used to meet
Will remind me who I am
And why I'm back in Belfast Town

Sing to me as I come into shore my Friends
Drink to me as you did before
Leave all your troubles and worries outside at the door my Friends
Sing to me - Drink to me as you did before.

Oh Belfast Town, I was so eager to leave you then
Belfast Town, now I'm determined to stay
Believe me now, Darling I'm going to make amends
Oh believe me now I'm never going away.

Opening the letter with a kitchen knife
I caught a hint of your perfume
It's funny what a spell a smell can cast
Brought me to another time another life
The silence of your room
I thought it couldn't fail to last

Sing to me as I come into shore my Love
Cling to me as you did before
Leave your doubts with your party dress on the floor my Love
And Sing to me
Cling to me as you did before x 3
...as I come into shore
