On the Day Mairead Goes Away

The day Mairead goes away
I'll find it in my heart
Memories, Sunny days
Where we will never part
I think of her now and then
Wonder why I passed her way
Wish that I was young again
I wonder how I'll feel
Life is such a dream and often seems that it's not real
Sure I think of what we had
If I ever feel too sad
I'll tell myself she's comin' back
I don't wanna learn to lose somebody
I don't wanna learn to say goodbye
I don't wanna learn no acceptance of the truth
When the truth is not much better than the lie
I don't wanna learn to say goodbye
Say goodbye
The day Mairead goes away
You will find me here
Months that grunts, cigarettes, whiskey, wine, or beer
I'll find a place to disconnect
I'll find a place I can forget myself
A place I can protect myself
On the day that Mairead goes
