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 what you've done is right
Oh it's been such [bad word]  I wish you well, I hope you're safe tonight
It's been a long [bad word] and long will it last
When it's last day leaving, and I'm helping it pass
By loving you more.

And who he would [bad word]  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 [bad word]  I wish you well, I hope you're safe tonight
It's been a long [bad word] and long will it last
When it's last day leaving, and I'm helping it pass
By loving you more

It's been a long [bad word] and long will it last
When it's last day leaving, and I'm helping it pass
By loving By loving you more
