I thought it was funny when you missed the train

When I rang you at home, they said you'd left yesterday

I thought it was strange when your car was found

by the tree in Ennis where we used to hang around



Dear Isobel, I hope you're well and that what you've done is right

Oh it's been such hell, I wish you well, I hope you're safe tonight

It's been a long day coming and long will it last

when it's last day leaving, and I'm helping it pass

by loving you more



And who would he become, all the things he'd have done

Would he have loved you and not let you down?

And would he be stronger than his father?

Don't punish yourself; leave it well alone



Dear Isobel, I hope you're well and what you've done is right

Oh it's been such hell, I wish you well, I hope you're safe tonight

It's been a long day coming and long will it last

when it's last day leaving, and I'm helping it pass

by loving you more
