The sun is shining   On the Belfast road today   It's been so long   I thought the clouds were here to stay   Now folks are lined up   To hear the music play   And I'm so lonesome for you now      From staying in the game   I'm more than flattered   Someone finally knows my name   There's a red carpet   I've never stood so close to fame   And I'm so lonesome for you now      I can fly like a hop   I'm the mighty Mississippi   Rolling to the Gulf   I got all I ever wanted   All I ever dreamed   And I'm so lonesome for you now      Down the mountain   A glacier makes its way   Eyes can't see   The progress it makes   It's a long journey   But I found out the ice will break   Still I'm so lonesome for you now
