Charlotte Church - Carrickfergus lyrics

Where the castle looks out to sea

I would swim over the deepest ocean

For my love to be with me

But the sea is wide, and I cannot swim over

Nor have I the wings to fly

I wish I had a handsome boatman

To ferry me over, my love and I

I wish I was in the land of Eire

Where the mountains reach the sea

Where flowers blossom as I do remember

Where my true love came to me

But the sea is wide, and I cannot swim over

Nor have I the wings to fly

Ah, to be back now in Carrickfergus

To be together, my love and I

To be together, my love and I

I wish I was in Carrickfergus

To be together, my love and I
