[Verse 1]
Every night all the cars would race under my window
Back when the letters would read BT45
I'd lie awake and just stare at the posters on my wall
Of cityscapes and old guitars, and bands I loved, and music halls, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
And oh, look what we did
I think we found
Everything we said we would find
But now and again
When it starts raining, no, I'm not complaining
[Chorus]
But I know I left my heart in Ireland
Where my people still reside
There in that house below the hill
Where I grew up
Where I wish I was still
Oh, what I'd give to be there tonight
[Verse 2]
See, my dad was a grocer just keeping the family tradition
And my mother, she came from the city, but you couldn't tell, no
My sisters and I, we had everything we could have ever needed
The best days of my life were the ones that I spent with them
[Pre-Chorus]
And oh, look what we did
I think we found
Everything we said we would find
But now and again
When it starts raining, I'm not complaining
[Chorus]
But I know I left my heart in Ireland
Where my people still reside
There in that house below the hill
Where I grew up
Where I wish I was still
Oh, what I'd give to be there tonight
[Bridge]
And oh
And oh
Woah
No, oh
[Chorus]
Said, I know I left my heart in Ireland
Where my people still reside
There in that house below the hill
Where I grew up
Where I wish I was still
Oh, what I'd give to be there tonight

When I turned 19, I left to work on my career and it was only when I came back to my parent’s house during COVID – being with my family that I fully realised the magic of the place. There’s a beauty and enchantment in Mid-Ulster that I have never been able to replicate anywhere else.
