But i am not to know of when or where i will see my last sundown
It was my yearn for adventure that took me to elsewhere
To experience life in the big World out there
Those who stay in their first homeplace or hometown until the day they do die
Have a far deeper sense of place than one such as i
To grow old far from home they never feel the desire
For their love of place them one can only admire
Of the praises of home they do regularly sing
For to live and work far from home would never be their thing
Happy to live and work where they are well known
And looked on by the other locals as one of their own
It was due to circumstance of birth that i was born in Millstreet
In the green countryside near where the waterways meet
