Since I'Ve Learnt To Visualize

Many years have since departed since I've sat and penned a rhyme Saying I would return to Ireland I'd be back there come Springtime And though I've not physically returned to Ireland you may find it a surprise That I've been back there in spirit since I've learnt to visualize. Yes I've been back home to Ireland and believe me when I say That I've seen the wild flowers blooming in green meadows far away And I've heard the skylark piping o'er the bogs of Claraghatlea And the meadow pipits singing in the pleasant month of May. And I've watched the local Rovers on March sunday bleak and gray Defeat a team from County Kerry in another great display I have stood there on the touch line as I've oft times done before And applauded their achievement as the winner they did score. Through the streets of Belgrave in Victoria traffic passing up and down Many miles from Clara Mountain and the fields by Millstreet Town But I can return to Ireland all I have to do is close my eyes And I'm back there in one minute since I've learnt to visualize.
