I thought it was funny when you missed the train
When I rang you at home they said you'd left yesterday
I thought it was strange when your car was found by the tree in Ennis
Where we used to hang around

Dear Isobel
I hope you're well and what you've done is right
Oh
It's been such hell
I wish you well
I hope you're safe tonight
It's been a long day coming and long will it last
When it's last day leaving and I'm helping it pass by loving you more

And who he would become
All the things he'd have done
Would he have loved you and not let you down
And would he be stronger than his father
Don't punish yourself
Leave it well alone

Dear Isobel
I hope you're well and what you've done is right
Oh
It's been such hell
I wish you well
I hope you're safe tonight
It's been a long day coming and long will it last
When it's last day leaving and I'm helping it pass by loving you more

It's been a long day coming and long will it last
When it's last day leaving and I'm helping it pass by loving
Loving you more
