Home To Donegal

The lights of London are far behind The thoughts of homeland are crowding my mind Familiar places come in to view I see my home now, soon I will see you This is my homeland, the place I was born in No matter where I go, it's in my soul My feet may wander a thousand places But my heart will lead me back home to my Donegal We'll talk to the old folks, sure they're getting on Treat them to late nights and sing a few songs We'll talk to the neighbours about life in the town There's so much to tell them, the days fly around This is my homeland, the place I was born in No matter where I go, it's in my soul My feet may wander a thousand places But my heart will lead me back home to my Donegal And then tomorrow, we'll take a walk Down to Saint Marys, to a sheltered spot We'll kneel and we’ll pray there for the ones that are gone And hope they’re proud of their wandering son This is my homeland, the place I was born in No matter where I go, it's in my soul My feet may wander a thousand places But my heart will lead me back home to my Donegal This is my homeland, the place I was born in No matter where I go, it's in my soul My feet may wander a thousand places But my heart will lead me back home to my Donegal Yes my heart will lead me back home to my Donegal
