Song about my hometown

lyrics

The wind blows cold across the water
Onto these northern shores
Where I was born, where I was brought up
And where I once belonged
Where I learned about love and I learned to be strong
And I learned right from wrong
But somewhere down the line I took a wrong turn
And I lost my way back home

I remember a pretty little dancer
She held my soul to ransom
I remember and the memory haunts me
Oh.. oh... and then some
I recall the wonder of it all
And though I try to hold on
Deep down in my soul I know...
I know those days are really gone

I can still see Portstewart harbour
And the shelter on the hill
Where lovers walked in the old days
Oh.. oh.. and they still do
And though it looks the same from a distance
Nothing stays the same
And when I look around me in my hometown
Nothing much remains
Of the things I loved and the things I knew
And those pretty little dancing girl memories of you

But the wind still blows cold across the water
Onto these northern shores
Where I was born, where I was brought up
And where I once belonged
