Tommy Makem

If i had wings, i'd fly the mountains
if i had a boat, i'd sail the sea
the dreary miles are long and lonesome
that lie between my love and me
Chorus:
true love and time go on forever
but love and distance cannot agree
when true love calls, a man will find it
just like a river will find the sea
My true love lives in a quiet valley
where sweet, warm winds, they always blow
i left her there to seek my fortune
though why i left her, i'll never know
Chorus
Come rain or shine, i'll start tomorrow
to where my heart can find some rest
and i won't mind the long hard journey
i'll find the one that i love best
Chorus
