One of a Kind Song - Ballinskelligs Girl Lyrics

As we lingered by the castle in the Ballinskelligs night
And the two of us fell silent as the wind began to bite
Well you turned to me me and pointed off across to Waterville
And you said we could have swum it if we hadn't drunk our fill
And I knew then what I now know
That I would find a home inside your heart
And I saw then what I now see
That Ballinskelligs night was just the start

When I heard that you were driving all the way to Cahersiveen
Well I felt my stomach tightening thinking of what might have been
Oh what might have been, it came to pass, you stepped into the bar
Old O'Leary gave a wink and whispered 'She did not get far'
And I knew then what I now know
That I would find a home inside your smile
And I saw then what I now see
The Ballinskelligs girl would stay a while

So we took the early ferry all the way to Skellig Rock
And the rain it was ferocious as we climbed up to the top
You turned to me and pointed at a stony beehive hut
And you said 'This was the place they came to dream a new world up'
And I knew then what I now know
That I would find a home inside your life
And I saw then what I now see
A Ballinskelligs girl to be my wife
And I knew then what I now know
That I would find a home inside your life
And I saw then what I now see
A Ballinskelligs girl
A Ballinskelligs girl
A Ballinskelligs girl to be my wife
