I thought it was funny when you missed the train
When I rang you at home they said you 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 hell
I wish you well and hope your 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 he would 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 and hope your 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
