Kate Purcell  -  Reasons To Leave

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 shouldn't 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

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
Reasons to leave
Are fortune and fame for what it’s worth
The reason to stay
Is heaven on earth
I’ve heard about work up in Boston
Laying tracks down to San Augustine
Sometimes with an eye for New Zealand
I lean
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
Music and love
Heaven on earth
Music and love
End
