The Day Mairead Goes Away

	On the day Mairéad goes away
	I'll find it in my heart
	A memory of sunny days
	Where we would never part
	I'll think of her now and then,
	Wonder why love has to end,
	Wish that I was young again
	On the day Mairéad goes away
	On the day Mairéad goes away
	I wonder how I'll feel
	Life is such a dream
	It often seems that it's not real
	I'm sure I'll think of what we had
	and if I ever feel too sad
	I'll tell myself she's coming back
	On the day Mairéad goes away
	I don't want to learn to lose somebody
	I don't want to learn to say goodbye
	I don't want to learn no acceptance of the truth
	When the truth is not much better than the lie
	I don't want to learn to say goodbye
	Say goodbye
	On the day Mairéad goes away
	You will find me here
	Amongst the drunks and cigarettes
	'Whisky, wine or beer?'
	I'll find a place to disconnect
	I'll find a place I can forget myself
	A place I can protect myself
	On the day that Mairéad goes...
