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.
