Kieran Goss - Reasons To Leave (Heaven On Earth) Lyrics

Ireland's a dream

Of hope for what the day will bring

The land and the sea

Is what I've come to trust

All that I am

Is telling me I should not go

And all that I know

Is they're telling me I must



Reasons to leave

Are money and finding better work

Reasons to stay

Are music and love

Reasons to leave

Are fortune and fame for what it's worth

The reason to stay

Is heaven on earth



My brothers are ten

And sisters I have five

Four to one bed

Is room enough to grow

All that we are

Is all that I have ever known

And all that I have

Will be here when I'm gone



I've heard about work up in Boston

Laying tracks down to San Augustine

Sometimes with an eye for New Zealand

I lean
