County Down

(album: Ancient Land - 2018)

When you're out walking and there's no one near you
But a voice keeps calling and you hear your name
It's not the leaves or the whispering breezes
It's me that's calling you back again

Oh, can you hear me? Oh, can you hear me?
As you roam through lonely London town
When evening's falling, you'll hear me calling
Come on home now to the County Down

Do you remember the fiddlers playing
The songs and stories the whole night long
It's little then that you thought of leaving
It seems so strange now that you are gone

Oh, can you hear me? Oh, can you hear me?
As you roam through lonely London town
When evening's falling, you'll hear me calling
Come on home now to the County Down

I'm always dreaming that things are changing
And that they're building a factory tall
And young ones needed again in Newry
But I still need you the most of all

Oh, can you hear me? Oh, can you hear me?
As you roam through lonely London town
When evening's falling, you'll hear me calling
Come on home now to the County Down
Come on home now to the County Down
