Lyrics:
Oh I raced head first down the old stone road
To the bridge outside Kilteel
And I held my breath on that frosty morning
Dreaming maybe you’re still there
Now I know in my heart that the original sin
Was never showing you my mind
‘Fore you crossed that sea,
You left this land and left my love behind

But my heart’s too honest
All my colours spilling out
Cause I know you’re all I want, want
Have we missed our moment?
How could fate be so unfair?
Cause I know you’re all I want, want

Now my Father stands in the middle of the road saying
“Boy where have you been?
You’ve been out all night chasing dogs and ghosts
And this hill has taken down good men.”
It’s been dark so long, she’s so damn bright
I can barely get myself to leave
I don’t do this much, no it’s not like me, he said
“I know just what you mean.”

But my heart’s too honest
All my colours spilling out
Cause I know you’re all I want, want
Have we missed our moment?
How could fate be so unfair?
Cause I know you’re all I want, want, want, want
Cause I know you’re all I want, want, want, want
Cause I know you’re all I want, want

I realise now there’s a wolf inside that I dare not try to kill
I can change my path, I can learn his heart but I cannot change his will
I watch her go, on a long cold night, I expect she’ll never leave my mind
And I’ll walk round broken, sceptical
Hoping one day she’ll return to my side
