It's plain to see, the sun won't shine today But i ain't in the mood for sunshine anyway Maybe i'll go insane I got to stop the pain Or maybe i'll go down to see kathleen.
A swallow comes and tells me of her dreams She says she'd like to know just what they mean I feel like i could die As i watch her flying by
Ride the north wind down to see kathleen.
Stars hang high above, the oceans roar The moon is come to lead me to her door There's crystal across the sand And the waves, they take my hand. Soon i'm gonna see my sweet kathleen.
