A song taken from the album "A Sign Of The Times" released in October 2011.
This song deals with emigration and how sometimes it's the only option of finding a better life.



Worked all my life, didn't bother dreaming
An honest man with a weekly wage, yeah
Wanted for nothing, had a life of meaning
It all went wrong with their intervening

Lost my job, lost my pride
Was struggling to make ends meet
I'll go away, I'll leave Today
To America I'll flee

I'm an Irishman with an empty hand
And I'm crying out for a change
We'll see better days with a job that pays
That's where I will be
Just an Irish man in an empty land
And I'm crying out for a dream
I'll return one day, well I hope and pray
I'll see you when I can, I'll leave for New York

Done all I can, now I've stopped my weeping
A fresh new start, won't be time for sleeping
I won't look back, have my goals in sight
I never thought I'd leave and make this wrong a right

After all, they're never there to catch you when you fall
After all, no I won't drown my fears in alcohol
After all, I emmigrate away from all this now
After all, a second chance is waiting there for me
