๐ Lyrics
Well, I didn't see much future
When I left the Christian brothers school
So I waved it goodbye with a wistful smile
And I left the girls of Tuam
And sometimes when I'm reminiscing
I see the prefabs and my old friends
And I know that they'll be changed or gone
By the time I get home again
And I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Yes, I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams
Well, the ould fella left me to Shannon
Was the last time I travelled that road
And as we turned left at Claregalway
I could feel a lump in my throat
As I pictured the thousands of times
That I travelled that well worn track
And I know that things would be different
If I ever decide to go back
And I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Yes, I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams
Now as I tumble down highways
Or filthy overcrowded trains
There's no one to talk to in transit
So I sit there and daydream in vain
And behind all these muddled up problems
Of living on a foreign soil
I can still see the twists and turns in the road
From the square to the town of the tribes
And I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Yes, I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams, oh
Just travelling with my thoughts and dreams
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
(Stone walls and the grasses green, yeah)
When I left the Christian brothers school
So I waved it goodbye with a wistful smile
And I left the girls of Tuam
And sometimes when I'm reminiscing
I see the prefabs and my old friends
And I know that they'll be changed or gone
By the time I get home again
And I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Yes, I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams
Well, the ould fella left me to Shannon
Was the last time I travelled that road
And as we turned left at Claregalway
I could feel a lump in my throat
As I pictured the thousands of times
That I travelled that well worn track
And I know that things would be different
If I ever decide to go back
And I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Yes, I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams
Now as I tumble down highways
Or filthy overcrowded trains
There's no one to talk to in transit
So I sit there and daydream in vain
And behind all these muddled up problems
Of living on a foreign soil
I can still see the twists and turns in the road
From the square to the town of the tribes
And I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Yes, I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams, oh
Just travelling with my thoughts and dreams
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
(Stone walls and the grasses green, yeah)
