Song For Westport Lyrics And Chords
A Song For Westport by Betty Harrigan
I've been to many places, I've seen many things
But the place I love the most of all is Westport in my dreams
I long to be there one day and stay forever more
How to rediscover my dreams upon your shore
To walk along the river's edge, the wind blowing in my hair
To reminisce of days gone by, or some old love affair
When all the world belongs to me I was young and wild and free
Westport, lovely Westport take me back to my dream
-- Chorus --
Take me back, take me back, let me dream once more
Ooo take me to that Ireland, to your hand-brushed painted door
I'm sitting here at Old Head Pier, I feel like I belong
Blue mountains all surround me, the waters wild and strong
My thoughts they long for the days that you held me near
Westport, lovely Westport - the town I hold so dear
Now here I am in Mayo, it was good with you around
But now we've been away so long and we both settled down
First loves never go away and you're always on my mind
I'll take you back, I'll take you back to the love I left behind
-- Chorus --
Take me back, take me back, let me dream once more
Ooo take me to that Ireland, to your hand-brushed painted door
Take me to that Ireland, to your hand-brushed painted door
I've been to many places, I've seen many things
But the place I love the most of all is Westport in my dreams
I long to be there one day and stay forever more
How to rediscover my dreams upon your shore
To walk along the river's edge, the wind blowing in my hair
To reminisce of days gone by, or some old love affair
When all the world belongs to me I was young and wild and free
Westport, lovely Westport take me back to my dream
-- Chorus --
Take me back, take me back, let me dream once more
Ooo take me to that Ireland, to your hand-brushed painted door
I'm sitting here at Old Head Pier, I feel like I belong
Blue mountains all surround me, the waters wild and strong
My thoughts they long for the days that you held me near
Westport, lovely Westport - the town I hold so dear
Now here I am in Mayo, it was good with you around
But now we've been away so long and we both settled down
First loves never go away and you're always on my mind
I'll take you back, I'll take you back to the love I left behind
-- Chorus --
Take me back, take me back, let me dream once more
Ooo take me to that Ireland, to your hand-brushed painted door
Take me to that Ireland, to your hand-brushed painted door
