On my own and out of sight,

I leave the fighting to the young and reckless, 

My head it floats through the fists and falls


Back to when we strolled,

You held my arm, you wore my coat,
My coat of arms was gleaming,

Never to be bolder
On we rolled,
Decked out in green
and good to go,
In my head I'm still there
Never to be older


Don't mind me dear, 

I'm tired and I want to go home

Lone I float, 

As toe to toe and cheek to cheek, 

We lost ourselves that evening
The bitter cold never felt so warm


Now I sail the white old isles

And coast to coast, 

We'll meet again my sweethearts,

I don't know where but I do know when


Don't mind me dear, 

I'm tired and I want to go home
[All I know, all I know, you never know]
