N17 - SAW DOCTORS

WELL I DIDN'T SEE
MUCH FUTURE
WHEN I LEFT THE
CHRISTIAN BROTHERS
SCHOOL
SO I WAVED IT GOODBYE
WITH A WISTFUL SMILE
AND I LEFT THE
GIRLS OF TUAM
AND SOMETIMES
WHEN I'M REMINISCING
I SEE THE PREFABS AND
MY OLD FRIENDS
AND I KNOW THAT THEY'LL
BE CHANGED OR GONE
BY THE TIME I
GET HOME AGAIN
AND I WISH I WAS
ON THAT N-SEVENTEEN
YES I WISH I WAS
ON THAT N-SEVENTEEN
TRAVELLING WITH JUST MY
THOUGHTS AND DREAMS
WELL THE OLD FELLA
LED ME TO SHANNON
WAS THE LAST TIME
I TRAVELLED THAT ROAD
AND AS I TURNED
LEFT AT CLAREGALWAY
I COULD FEEL A LUMP
IN MY THROAT
AS I PICTURED THE
THOUSANDS OF TIMES
THAT I TRAVELLED THAT
WELL WORN TRACK
AND I KNOW THAT THINGS
WOULD BE DIFFERENT
IF I EVER DECIDE
TO GO BACK
AND I WISH I WAS
ON THAT N-SEVENTEEN
YES I WISH I WAS
ON THAT N-SEVENTEEN
TRAVELLING WITH JUST MY
THOUGHTS AND DREAMS
NOW AS I TUMBLE
DOWN HIGHWAYS
OR FILTHY
OVERCROWDED TRAINS
THERE'S NO ONE
TO TALK TO IN TRANSIT
SO I SIT THERE AND
DAYDREAM IN VAIN
AND BEHIND ALL THESE
MUDDLED UP PROBLEMS
OF LIVING ON
A FOREIGN SOIL
I CAN STILL SEE THE TWISTS
AND TURNS ON THE ROAD
FROM THE SQUARE TO
THE TOWN OF THE TRIBES
AND I WISH I WAS
ON THAT N-SEVENTEEN
YES I WISH I WAS
ON THAT N-SEVENTEEN
TRAVELLING WITH JUST MY
THOUGHTS AND DREAMS
JUST TRAVELLING WITH
MY THOUGHTS
AND DREAMS
