lyrics

Smelt Mill Bay

Rainbows over Smelt Mill Bay
Misty woods on the costal way
Saw a bird bear my cares away
And vanish in the clouds
Oh I wish I was in Bangor, now

Past the black door with the blood red squares
Nestled in the back bar on those long bench chairs
God bless those yellow walls for I was happy there
They clutched my heart so tight
Oh I wish I was in Fealty’s tonight

All those years of loneliness
Quiet rooms and crying fits
How I hungered for the tenderness
Of a friend’s hand on my arm

Ghosts may haunt the Jenny Watts
Jelly beans and silly talk
We took Dot out for a walk
Down by Jamaica Inn

Oh I will miss the campus faces
The pursuit of academic graces
But aching hearts need hearthside places
I think I always will
Oh I wish I was in Bangor, still
(Hums)
