A Poem dedicated to all those Irish boys and girls that never made it back home.
Emigrant.
The light is dim
and the night is cold
as i board this plane
to take me home
Ive been out here
for many years
ot toil of love
of sweat and tears
Ive lived ive loved
ive laughed and cried
I cant complain
ive had my life
But now im bent
and grey and old
My body aches
i feel the cold
Now i just dream
of days gone by
now i return home
to die.
