lyrics

There is a place, north Donegal
some of my memories are there
the blonde and the brunette
the girl with the short hair
it's the place where I made
some of my earliest mistakes
the best thing that I ever did
was getting out of that place

I remember the winter
the springtime and the autumn
but most of all those summer nights
we spent in her garden
and I'm going back there
no matter what you say
I've been invited
to her wedding day

stones' throw from you

it's the lying, it's the wasting
it's the cheat, it's the cheating on yourself
I'll wait for love
it's the drugs, it's the late nights
it's the bottle, bottle I love the most
I'll wait for love
someone to hold, one to care for
when I'm old and grey and full of sleep
I'll wait for love

the autumn, the fading light
the darkening day, the compensating night
I walked home, left it unsaid
with pounding heart I died a distant death
the days draw down, dwindle, scatter
it all ends and none of it matters
I linger on, become undone
I learn my fate is to always be in love
slip and slow down, square one again
I've made mistakes that I deeply regret
I've made mistakes again, again, again
