I stole all the crystal out of Waterford, the sunny South East chased me like a beast Cut out my drying heart, rubbed it in clove oil and wrapped it up in oak bark It was yours by Borris-in-Ossory Followed the vine all the way to the melon, I was a career crook never a felon 21 Miles to Portlaoise and a sweetheart there that might have harboured me Instead we took the short, short way through Tipperary I'd have given you the whole of Ireland I'd have thrown in the Irish Sea More the fool to think that giving someone an island Could make them feel anything but lonely You'd grown weary and us just passed Cahir, mostly tired of my dishonesty I still hear your desperate screams, "I want to be with you I just don't need to be" From then on, I was a dead dog among the reeds We knelt at odd shaped rocks to pray, for some kind of sign to help us believe Stopped by at Ballinspittle to see a moving statue of the blessed virgin Mary Was I conning her, or was she iconning me? I'd have given you the whole of Ireland I'd have thrown in the Irish Sea More the fool to think that giving someone an island Could make them feel anything but lonely Lonely are you, waiting on me to change Lonely are we, racing to our graves Last thing I felt was the impact, last thing I saw were the backs of your heels The distant howls and figures left me no doubt it was you who'd pulled that trigger And in that I took some solace and relief I rolled over to face the blue sky, closed my eyes and dreamt that you'd got away I watch as you crossed the sea, well if you wanted to go i'd have let you leave But we choose love, or we choose to be free You never needed the whole of Ireland You never wanted the Irish Sea More the fool to think that giving someone an island Could make them feel anything but lonely
