The lights of London
Are far behind
The thoughts of homeland
Are crowding my mind
Familiar places
Come into view
I see my home now
Soon I will see you
This is my homeland
The place I was born in
No matter where I go
It's in my soul
My feet may wander
A thousand places
But my heart will lead me back home
To my Donegal
We'll talk to the old folks
For they're getting on
And treat them to late nights
And sing a few songs
We'll talk of the neighbours
And life in the town
There's so much to tell them
The days fly around
This is my homeland
The place I was born in
No matter where I go
It's in my soul
My feet may wander
A thousand places
But my heart will lead me back home
To my Donegal
Then tomorrow
We'll take a walk
Down to St. Mary's
To a sheltered spot
We'll kneel and pray there
For the ones that are gone
And hope they'll be proud of
Their wandering son
This is my homeland
The place I was born in
No matter where I go
It's in my soul
My feet may wander
A thousand places
But my heart will lead me back home
To my Donegal
This is my homeland
The place I was born in
No matter where I go
It's in my soul
My feet may wander
A thousand places
But my heart will lead me back home
To my Donegal
