Bagatelle - If You Ever Come Back From England lyrics

[Verse 1] Across the bridge on Achill Island This land was yours, this land is my land Lilac on the windows And laughs into the night Jokes and smokes and stories We knew we'd be alright Tears and beers by the ocean Until the early morning light [Chorus] If you ever come back from England I'll be waiting at the key And if you do, I wonder if you'll Be glad to see me I have often thought about you And the way things used to be If you ever come back from England Will you ever come back to me? [Verse 2] Some rainy nights in Dublin You'd take the train back home Cold pints, warm love in Westport And we swore we'll never roam Ah, but Ballina in Springtime And hawthron by the road And now you're gone And time goes on But are you gone for good? [Chorus] 'Cause if you ever come back from England I'll be waiting at the key And if you do, I wonder if you'll Be glad to see me I have often thought about you And the way things used to be If you ever come back from England Will you ever come back to me? [Bridge] I don't expect things to be the same I know they never will But you can I could just sit down And talk Talk until the morning [Instrumental] [Chorus] If you ever come back from England I'll be waiting at the key And if you do, I wonder if you'll Be glad to see me I have often thought about you And the way things used to be But if you ever come back from England... [Outro] If you ever come back from England... If you ever come back from England... Will you ever come back to me?
