Lyrics

Going back to Skellig
Where the air is cold and damp
Going back to Skellig
Gonna find that second chance

Moon light shines
Off sharp black rocks
Even the sun wears a frown
But, Better the devil you know
I'm Going back to Skellig

I chose a sailor's life
Many ships have been my wife
One night towns
And harbor homes
Those salty ocean brides
Always kept me alive
The only loves I've ever known

Some liars some cheats
Some lovers for cheap
Broken hearts
And fractured minds
But Id rather be bored
Broke, and in pieces
Then die in your high street town

Going back to Skellig
Where the air is cold and damp
Going back to Skellig
Gonna find that second chance

A Fisherman's son
My Mother's only one
Raised by hook and by line
The seas of Scandinavia
A man they will make of ya
No truer hearts will you find
