Of all the places I have been there's only one that fills my dream
The place that lingers in my mind is the town I've left behind
I've been away now for too many years
I've read all the papers they've told me 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 me when I am far away I think of thee
Your black mountain Cave Hill, City Hall
Shaws 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 wont be long now till I see them all
And I'll walk round the old streets and good times I'll recall

That's Belfast you call me when I am far away I think of thee
Your black mountain Cave Hill, City Hall
Shaws bridge, River Lagan, I'm going home to them all
