The Road to Dunmore

[Verse 1]
I was walking the road to Dunmore
One evening as often I'd done
And my heart being heavy as stone
I was thinking of times that were gone
When we walked arm and arm on the shore
And watched the waves roll on the sea
Never thinking that there'd come a time
They'd be rolling between you and me

[Verse 2]
'Tis many's the tide now has turned
Since I stood all alone on the quay
And I watched as you waved me goodbye
And I felt the heart aching in me
If I were a prince or a king
Or had money and treasure in store
I would travel the whole world wide
And not rest 'till I found you once more

[Verse 3]
'Tis many's the morning I'd wait
For the letters you promised to send
And I counted the hours of each day
'Till we'd both be united again
They say that in time love grows cold
And it fades like the morning dew
But time it won't alter my mind
For I know that I can't forget you

[Verse 4]
I have money enough for one glass
But maybe my credit will hold
In memories I'm rich as a king
But they can't warm the heart when it's cold
So we'll drink to the times that are past
And the days when we walked on the shore
And to you I will raise up my glass
For I know that I'll n'er see you more
