The sun is shining

On the Belfast road today

It's been so long

I thought the clouds were here to stay

Now folks are lined up

To hear the music play

And I'm so lonesome for you now



From staying in the game

I'm more than flattered

Someone finally knows my name

There's a red carpet

I've never stood so close to fame

And I'm so lonesome for you now



I can fly like a hop

I'm the mighty Mississippi

Rolling to the Gulf

I got all I ever wanted

All I ever dreamed

And I'm so lonesome for you now



Down the mountain

A glacier makes its way

Eyes can't see

The progress it makes

It's a long journey

But I found out the ice will break

Still I'm so lonesome for you now
