Day Too Long

歌詞

I saw the big ship leaving Roxy saw it too You were never bad enough for me, darling I was never good enough for you Those little moments late at night When for no darn reason You'd wake up and fight I've stayed in Carrickfergus a day too long She said the castle was a mystery, could I tell her its history What didn't I know It's just a pile of stones, they've always been there I've never had a reason to go Sometimes it's better just to follow your nose She was banging on the doors But the castle was closed I've stayed in Carrickfergus a day too long Goodness me, it's no distance from Antrim to Afland We could leave the car here and all be in Scotland for tea And Roxy looked for the ferry to take us to Dublin town Oh, but it might have been better if they'd all just stayed here with me Was that the rain on my back, was that the wind in my face Was it the shingle shore Or just sitting on the same wooden bench We'd shared back in 'seventy-four I smoked, I told her some jokes Drank some whiskey and Cokes She got me drunk as a lord And I stayed in Carrickfergus a day too long I know I stayed in Carrickfergus a day too long Glory be, I hoped I'd be better than nothing And if you want something pretty to look at, go look at that sea You had time on your hands and we loved the same bands You walked far too quickly, I could not hold hands But if that's okay with you, darling, hey, it's okay by me She said the castle was a mystery, could I tell her its history But I didn't know I guess I stayed in Carrickfergus a day too long I guess I stayed in Carrickfergus a day too long I guess I stayed in Carrickfergus a day too long I guess I stayed in Carrickfergus a day too long
