Everynight the cars would race under my window
Back when the letters would read BT45
I'd lie awake and just stare at the posters on my wall
Of city scapes and old guitars and bands I loved and music halls

Oh look what we did
I think we found
Everything we said we would find
But now and again
When it starts raining
I'm not complaining

But I know I left my heart in Ireland
Where my people still reside
There in that house below the hill
Where I grew up
Where I wish I was still
Oh what i'd give to be there tonight

My dad was a grocer just keeping the family tradition
And my mother she came from the city but you couldn't tell
My sisters and I we had everything we could have ever needed
The best days of my life were the ones that I spent with them

Oh look what we did
I think we found
Everything we said we would find
But now and again
When it starts raining
I'm not complaining

But I know I left my heart in Ireland
Where my people still reside
There in that house below the hill
Where I grew up
Where I wish I was still
Oh what i'd give to be there tonight

I was back for a while for a couple months I wasn't intending
Thought the world might be ending so I said i'd stay a while
And we drank and we laughed and we played football out in the garden
I'll never forget those two months til the day I die"
