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
