Lyrics
Standing in Ballybofey
Wondering if this is the day
I will return to you
Dear Belfast
I love you sweet Donegal
But I need to be answerin’ the call
I will return to you
Dear Belfast
To the troubles of the past
I left you in late ‘94
Escaping the scourges of war
Leaving my Mam behind
Alone with her fear
On a flight to Australia next day
Met a man who was running away
From demons and dreamers
Sharing our tears
Alone with our fears
Standing in Ballybofey etc
In Melbourne we lived in a squat
But The Troubles I never forgot
Tearing our lives apart
More than I’d known
In Dublin I hid from the law
It was twenty years or more
Moved up to Donegal
Closer to home
Forever alone
