Four Country Roads

Four country roads, winding to a town in County Galway

Four country roads, leading to the friends I left behind

Four dusty roads, winding to the town of Glenamaddy

Four dusty roads, forever in the caverns of my mind



Once in a while

I hear the sound of music in the winter night

I see now and then

The trees where we sheltered from the rain

And once in a while

I see us walking home in the morning light

And oft are the times

I long to see my home town once again



Four roads to Glenamaddy

Four roads that drift apart

Four roads to Glenamaddy

Are the four dusty byways to my heart



One country road

Led me to the schoolhouse by the meadow

And one country road

To the churchyard where my Mum and Daddy lie

One dusty road

Where I strolled with a loved one in the shadows

And one dusty road

That led me on my journey far away
