Lyrics

County Cork

I?m all alone
A single solitary voice
And right or wrong
I?m free to choose without a choice
When the night time comes
I count my blessings but there?s only one
Do I dare to speak my name
All alone?

I?m all alone
Roses line my very street
And here you come
You?re just the kind I?d hope to meet
Are you my one?
I?d trade my sanity for house and home
I?m ashamed to speak my name
All alone

Oh there?s a church in the wildwood
So dear to my childhood
It?s just up the road we?re on

I?m all alone
Say your prayers and you start a war
Gods disagree and that?s what they?ll kill you for
I?ve been scared to speak my name
All alone

And if we walk in a straight line
We could be there in no time
It?s just up the road we?re on
Oh, I only want loving for everyone
I only want loving for everyone

All alone
Think I?ll fly away to County Cork
Where my father?s from
I?ll take my dog and my raincoat
Why don?t you come?
We could live so far away
All alone

Come and see where I learned to pray
I forget a little more every day
