The Road To Dunmore

(R. O'Connell)
I was walking the road to Dunmore One evening as often I've done; And my heart was heavy as a stone, I was thinking of times that are gone.
When we walked arm in arm on the shore, And watched the waves roll on the sea, Never thinking that there'd come a time They'd be rolling between you and me. :
And it's many's the tide now has turned
Since I stood all alone on the quay; ;
And I watched as you waved your farewell
And left the heart breaking in me.
But if I were a prince or a king
And had money and treasure in store
I'd travel the whole world around
And not rest till I'd found you once more.
And it's many's the morning I'd wait For the letters you promised to send And I'd count all the hours in each day Till we'd both be united again.
And they say that in time love grows cold And fades like the morning dew But time cannot alter my mind. For I know that I can't forget you.
I have money enough for one glass
But I think that my credit will hold;
For in memories I'm rich as a king.
But they can't warm a heart when it's cold
So I'll drink to the times that are past
And the days when we walked on the shore
And to you I will raise up my glass
For I know I'll ne'er see you more.
