Close your eyes my love, if you don't wanna see me go
Close your eyes my love, if you don't wanna see me go
Stay asleep my love, dreaming that isn't so
There was a time my love, I promised you we'd never part
There was a time my love, I promised you we'd never part
Well that time has passed faster than a fallen star
I was bored, looking for something to do
You were there with nobody to care for you, so you let me
It was just fun I was thinking of
You were thinking love long before you ever met me
Cover your ears my dear, if you don't wanna hear goodbye
Cover your ears my dear, if you don't wanna hear goodbye
Go on and plug them up, sing your pretty lullabies
La la la la la la la
I was bored, looking for something to do
You were there with nobody to care for you, so you let me
It was just fun I was thinking of
You were thinking love long before you ever met me
If I don't wake you dear, you're gonna sleep the day away
If I don't wake you dear, you're gonna sleep the day away
I hear the rooster crow, babe I must be on my way
I see the sun at last, shining on the Casco Bay
I see the sun at last, shining on the Casco Bay
The same one you see, setting over old Galway
So go back to sleep, dreaming of a brighter day
So go back to sleep, go back to sleep
Go back to sleep, babe I must be on my way
