Sea breeze in my face

The skies are all grey in my heart

There's no looking back

I'm being torn apart.

 

The old town's left behind

That raised and groomed me to fly

I go with such heartache

Watching a tear from father's eye.

 

The mist the fog the falling rain

The sea the sky don't hide the pain

Old town will you stay the same

I may never see these shores again.

 

Old town what have you done

You've shown the door to another son

Is there wisdom in a plan

That breaks the heart of a Dublin man

That breaks the heart of a Dublin man

That breaks the heart of a Dublin man.
