Of all the places I have been
There's only one to fill my dreams
The place that lingers in my mind
Is a town I felt behind

I've been away now for too many years
I've read all the papers, they told of your tears
Though I've left you with a heart that's been torn
I'm coming home now to the place I was born

That's Belfast you call to me
When I am far away I think of thee
Your Black Mountain, Cave Hill, City Hall,
Shaw's Bridge, River Lagan, I'm going home to them all

I'll meet friends and relations,each one I'll embrace,
We'll pass round the pictures, which time can't erase.
And it won't be long now, till I see them all,
And I'll walk round the old streets and good times I'll recall

In Belfast you call to me
When I am far away I think of thee
Your Black Mountain, Cave Hill, City Hall,
Shaw's Bridge, River Lagan, I'm going home to them all
