I've found myself afar from home Across the world to hell and back Off the edge to parts unknown I cross my heart to tell you That I'm oft without a plan or means But if I'm being truthful I've always made it by Being half the way to useful I found for me a rare wan' Standing well and truly smitten And I'd give to you a life with me If God'd be permitting If I'm half the man you think I am That's twice the man I need to be To part the sea and give you What a rare wan' should be given And you'll always be My lock and key And I'll crawl and claw my way back Till my hands can all but function I'll cross the land and sea by any means I'll tell you now, son If you find me well and buckled Then my sorrows are all sunken If I go out on my shield Will you bring me back to dublin And I'd promise you the world To show the lengths that I adore you I'd cross the world back over There's no ship I wouldn't board And if I didn't have the means Then I'll do all that I can afford to And I'll drag the world up by the neck And place it out before you And you'll always be My lock and key And I'll crawl and claw my way back Till my hands can all but function I'll cross the land and sea by any means I'll tell you now, son If you find me well and buckled Then me sorrows are all sunken If I go out on my shield Will you bring me back to dublin And I'll crawl and claw my way back Till my hands can all but function I'll cross the land and sea by any means I'll tell you now, son If you find me well and buckled Then me sorrows are all sunken If I go out on my shield Will you bring me back home And I'll crawl and claw my way back Till my hands can all but function I'll cross the land and sea by any means I'll tell you now, son If you find me well and buckled Then me sorrows are all sunken If I go out on my shield Will you bring me back to Dublin (fucking home) And I'll crawl and claw my way back Till my hands can all but function I'll cross the land and sea by any means I'll tell you now, son If you find me well and buckled Then me sorrows are all sunken If I go out on my shield Will you bring me back
