Coney Island

Coming down from Downpatrick
Stopping off at St. John's Point
Out all day birdwatching
And the craic was goodStopped off at Strangford Lough
Early in the morning
Drove through Shrigley taking pictures
And on to KillyleaghStopped off for Sunday papers
At the Lecale District
Just before Coney IslandOn and on, over the hill
To Ardglass in the jamjar
Autumn sunshine, magnificent
And all shining throughStop off at Ardglass
For a couple of jars of mussels
And some potted herrings in case
We get famished before dinnerOn and on, over the hill
And the craic is good
Heading towards Coney IslandI look at the side of your face
As the sunlight comes
Streaming through the window
In the autumn sunshineAnd all the time
Going to Coney Island
I'm thinking, wouldn't it be great?
If it was like this all the time
