Reasons To Leave (heaven On Earth) Lyrics

Reasons To Leave (heaven On Earth)

Ireland's a dream



Of hope for what the day will bring



The land and the sea



Is what I've come to trust



All that I am



Is telling me I should not go



And all that I know



Is they're telling me I must







Reasons to leave



Are money and finding better work



Reasons to stay



Are music and love



Reasons to leave



Are fortune and fame for what it's worth



The reason to stay



Is heaven on earth







My brothers are ten



And sisters I have five



Four to one bed



Is room enough to grow



All that we are



Is all that I have ever known



And all that I have



Will be here when I'm gone







I've heard about work up in Boston



Laying tracks down to San Augustine



Sometimes with an eye for New Zealand



I lean
