[Verse 1]
On the day Mairéad goes away
I'll find it in my heart
A memory of sunny days
Where we would never part
I'll think of her now and then
Wonder why I passed her way
Wish that I was young again
On the day Mairéad goes away
[Verse 2]
On the day Mairéad goes away
I wonder how I'll feel
Life is such a dream
It often seems that it's not real
I'm sure I'll think of what we had
If I ever feel too sad
I'll tell myself she's comin' back
On the day Mairéad goes away
[Bridge]
I don't wanna learn to lose somebody
I don't wanna learn to say goodbye
I don't wanna learn no acceptance of the truth
When the truth is not much better than the lie
I don't wanna learn to say goodbye
Say goodbye
[Verse 3]
On the day Mairéad goes away
You will find me here
Amongst the drunks and cigarettes
"Whiskey, wine, or beer?"
I'll find a place to disconnect
I'll find a place I can forget myself
A place I can protect myself
On the day that Mairéad goes
