Canadian Geese Lyrics - It's All Good - Damien Dempsey

Down Kilbarrack road I head for the coast 

As the northern estates close in, they close in on me so blatantly 

A thickening of the skin 

The inner city folk, they often spoke, with a tongue that was more like a fist 

On the reservation six miles north of the slums that some still missed 

We'd walk the train tracks, out to the haystacks 

As the swerved towards a greener world under Baldoyle bridge 

The gateway ridge 

Our hay jump dreams unfurled 

And the Belfast train nearly killed my friend Wayne 

As it sped like a bullet flying 

Carrying souls and dreams, like a time machine, back to 1690 mean time 

On the flat of my back, in that field by the tracks 

The Canadian geese flew by 

In my mind I up and join with them 

And we glide out to Ireland's eye 

We can be free, with a little car key, 

The rivers of tar can take us far 

There are friends and lovers we have yet to meet 

And tonight, they are watching these same stars

I was born to wander and I'm not afraid to be free now 

My heart grows far fonder for these streets 

When your face I don't see now 

Why don't you drop everything tonight 

And we can ride to the sea now 

I'll always return but tell me 

Do you dare to be free 

Can we snatch victory from the jaws of these streets now 

When these walls they close in 

And your heart turns to tin 

Lets escape to the sea now 

I can see every face 

Broken ghosts of this place 

And they hand us the key now
