The lights of London, are far behind
The thoughts of homeland are crowding my mind
Familiar faces, come in to view
I see my home now, soon I'll see you
We'll talk to the old folk, Lord they're getting on
And treat them to late nights and sing the old songs
We'll talk of the neighbours and life in the town
There's so much to tell them, the days fly around
This is my homeland, the place I was born in
No matter where I go, it's in my soul
My feet may wander a thousand places
But my heart will lead me back home to my Donegal
And then tomorrow we'll take a walk
Down to St. Marys to a sheltered spot
We'll kneel and pray there for the ones that are gone
And hope they're proud of their wandering son
This is my homeland, the place I was born in
No matter where I go it's in my soul
My feet may wander a thousand places
But my heart will lead me back home to my Donegal
This is my homeland, the place I was born in
No matter where I go, it's in my soul
My feet may wander a thousand places
But my heart will lead me back home to my Donegal
My heart will lead me back home to my Donegal
