I can remember when you left Kilkenny
And you told me: I'll return next year
I never meant to hold you to your promise
And the years went by and I'm still here

So you left for the city, I hope you like it there
You're only here now to see the village fair
You're just here for the music, that's all, or could it be
You miss the good old times when you danced with me

So is the outside as you imaginеd?
Was it worth it, severing the tiеs?
Happy to see me or a bit embarrassed?
There's a darkness deep in your blue eyes

So you left for the city, I hope you like it there
You're only here now to see the village fair
You're just here for the music, that's all, or could it be
You miss the good old times when you danced with me

When you danced with me
I miss the good old times when you danced with me
