On The Day Mairead Goes Away

The day Mairead goes away

I'll find it in my heart

Memories, Sunny days

Where we will never part

I think of her now and then

Wonder why I passed her way

Wish that I was young again

On the day Mairead goes away

On the day Mairead goes away

I wonder how I'll feel

Life is such a dream and often seems that it's not real

Sure I think of what we had

If I ever feel too sad

I'll tell myself she's comin' back

On the day Mairead goes away

I don't wanna learn to lose somebody

I don't wanna learn to say goodbye

I don't wanna learn no acceptance of the truth

When the truth is not much better than the lie

I don't wanna learn to say goodbye

Say goodbye

The day Mairead goes away

You will find me here

Months that grunts, cigarettes, whiskey, wine, or beer

I'll find a place to disconnect

I'll find a place I can forget myself

A place I can protect myself

On the day that Mairead goes
