The king of the castle,

By the shores of the Swilly,

now with kids of our own

Another year over,

and see how they've grown

Then we'd watch the last sunset,

and walk arm in arm

Till I see you next summer; God

And if I was a flier

who crashed now and then,
Em
C

She would put me together and fly me again.

But I feel in that moment, a part of me died...
