Save your lips for someone
Your kisses I won't waste
For by this time tomorrow
Sails will have set, winds of regret, blowin'
Summer's touch was tender
When on your shores we played
But dusk can hide my fear
The bridge I'll cross this night is near, knowin'
Helenstown
Helenstown
Rhu, Ardmore, your distant lights are fadin'
Helenstown
Helenstown
Glen Fruin now your sons are lost, callin', fallin'
Mother as I write I dare not tell you
Those thunder shells that pound, for what?
No, there's no glory
The signal flares are risin'
But in my heart, I'm home
Helenstown
Helenstown
Rhu, Ardmore, your distant fires are fadin'
Helenstown
Helenstown
Glen Fruin now your sons are lost, callin', fallin'
