Tonight I wished upon a falling star
that streaked, so bright, across the midnight sky.
I asked it if I could be where you are
but I received no answer in reply.
And then I searched for a four-leaf clover,
while I lay in the grass and dreamed of you.
It just didn’t seem to help me over
the vast distance that separates us two.
A little rabbit’s foot, I tried to find
or a lucky charm in an old horseshoe.
Superstitions I put my faith behind
never got me any closer to you.

Instead I’ll find myself a place to hide
and in my dreams I will be by your side.

Take me home to Erin's shores,
to where my heart roams free.

Once, very briefly, I even considered a psychic...understood this so well.
