"Red Choral Diamond Spray" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

As we pull into the harbor in new york today
I ask you how you're doing. you swear up and down you're ok
But I can see what's gotten into your eyes
It's written all over your face tonight
We will never see ireland again
We will never see ireland again

As we hang up the map on the motel wall
Count up the places that we've left behind
Add the distances in between them all
All the bridges that someone's burned down for us
All the chances that we burned all by ourselves
Makes us wonder what we were thinking then
'Cause we will never see ireland again
We will never see ireland again
We will never see ireland again
