On Our Home Ground

On Our Home Ground

By Paul McCann   

Oh won’t you bring me home from all of my travels

For I’ve been away far too long .

Tell me what’s been happening since I’ve been gone ,

I’ve missed all the goings on .

Its as if I’ve never been away

because here in my heart that love’s has never gone .

I love all of the everyday things we used to do

like the way we say hello .

and how you would always say ,

I was just passing by and thought I’d drop in , you know .

Lets share some of the craic

and have a bite to eat in some of the places we know .

Show me that old smile and remind me of the times we once had ,

a long time ago

Bring me home to where we feel safe

In the faith we call our own in the town we’re from

and in the only place where I really belong

for its too long now I’ve been gone .

There’s a love here that keeps on going

and it always will until the end of time .

The friends we had and the things we did ,

are treasured memories , that are yours and mine.

On the fields we played and in the things we said

the game of life was won at full time . .
