James Brothers - Achill Island Lyrics

Listen son there's something I must tell you
How your mum and me first fell in love
Now you may think that fairy tales don't happen
But this was like a bolt from up above

It happened in the year of '67
I got a summer job delivering beer
I never will forget that Monday morning
The sun was bright and my radio was clear

I was driving out to Achill Island
When I saw her trying to hitch a ride
I pulled up and she jumped in beside me
And ever since that girl's been by my side

I can't believe it's over twenty years now
But I know the love we share is still as strong
And son you know your mum and me both wish for
The day when your true love will come along

You never can be sure when it will happen
Just wait and take each day that comes along
'til the time your heart tells you you found her
You'll know because your heart is never wrong
