Crosshaven Cork Lyrics

Crosshaven Cork

Lovely little village in the Emerald Isle

So nice

Flew in from New York

Took a three-hour ride from Dublin

Through the City of Cork

Made one pit stop

Traveled through winding roads

To reach your house

By the sea

Like I promised

In Crosshaven Cork

Crosshaven Cork

I stood at the edge of a cliff

Looking out

I saw an Ocean Liner

Passing on by as I watched through a looking glass

I watched it pass

I was still in shock

Walked to the beach

And through the quaint streets

Back to Beaumont East

Your house

In Crosshaven Cork

I didn't come here for the view

I didn't come for the Irish stew

Or a glass of Guinness at Cronin's bar

Or to meet the fine folks here

From near and far

Crosshaven Cork

Lent my shoulders for

His last walk

Cried a lot inside

Read from Ecclesiastes

There is a time

Then we buried my brother

In the graveyard facing the sea

What will be will be

Now you will always be a part of me

Crosshaven Cork
