Don't get me wrong now But I must confess that I sit on the bus to Cookstown To escape and start a new beginning That's what I want That's all I've ever wanted, that's what I need I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone I'm a stranger to you now Northern Ireland, I am back home I couldn't wait any longer My heart said what I need I see the cities with their shining lights I will have a good time I see the cities with my new eye This will be my life I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone I'm a stranger to you now I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone I'm a stranger to you now This is my story I've written it for you Oh I left you, I am sorry But I will always think of you I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone I'm a stranger to you now I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone I'm a stranger to you now
