about

About someone whose unfulfilled big hopes have made it impossible for her to go home to the town she misses so much.

lyrics

A town like any other,
it's either near or far,
a place where I did most of my growing up,
back in Castlebar.

I left with one ambition,
to be a movie star.
I don't suppose I'd ever be recognised
back in Castlebar.

Some places travel with you,
no matter how far you go.
I was destined for fame,
but somehow never made my name.
If I could, I'd go back tomorrow.

It's nowhere really special,
a place to park your car,
but my worst regrets and best of my memories
are in Castlebar.

I never said I love you,
never mentioned your name,
and if only I'd spoken before it was too late -
Just got myself to blame now.

I'd still go back there,
I'd face them down,
but what's the point now?

So if you get your fortune,
you love the place you are.
One time for me it might have been paradise,
back in Castlebar.
