Roscommon CBS 1981

A dreary afternoon

We travelled down from Tuam

I saw that open goal

I can see it still

Fifty-fifty ball

You nearly got me killed



You broke my heart

Tore it apart

We lost that spark

When you broke my heart



We might have won the game

But I just did'nt care

You went and let it go

Just like I was'nt there

I saw you commin' in

I was'nt marked at all

I had it in the net

If you had passed the ball



chorus



I was standing on the edge

Of the parallelogram

Roarin' me head off

Pass it in sham

Play it in low

Don't hesitate or stall

Will you open your eyes

For Christ' sake

Pass me the ball



chorus



Their full-back was big

But I was small and fast

I had him left for dead

If I had got that pass

A girl can foul you up

Tear your life apart

There's more than just one way

To break a young mans heart

And you broke mine
