Do you remember our years together when we were both teens?
Before you went to London town and I headed out to Queens
You must have gotten blinded by the bright city light
I never heard from you even thought you swore you would write
My mother would talk about you when she would mail a letter
Saying you didn't write your mother either and that upset her
It’s so hard to keep a romance going from far across the pond
especially if the girl is a pretty blue eyed Mayo blonde
But sure the life we all led in Ireland was so conflicting
The religious upbringing almost didn't want the sexes mixing
When some teenagers like us got work and money they blew off steam
It was implied by my mother that you went to the far extreme
You would not send your parents the number of your mobile phone
And they worried sick about you being in London all alone
It’s so hard to keep a romance going from far across the pond
especially if the girl is a pretty blue eyed Mayo blonde
I remember the first Friday night in New York I lost the pledge
After the first week digging sewer lines with the shovel and sledge
I woke up the next morning with my clothes on in a helpless state
And was informed later that day I had been helped home by my mate.
I spent most of that Saturday on my bed room floor feebly sprawled
and went so often to the bathroom my aunt Mary was appalled
It’s so hard to keep a romance going from far across the pond
especially if the girl is a pretty blue eyed Mayo blonde
London sights must have been remarkable for a girl of eighteen
The weekends full of dancing was far better than the Mayo scene
No more ceili dancing for this fun loving beauty from Pontoon
And I'm sure there were many fine lads in the Irish saloon
Since third class in the national school you I always admired
Then as the teen years went onward it was you I most desired
It’s so hard to keep a romance going from far across the pond
especially if the girl is a pretty blue eyed Mayo blonde
It’s no good talking about old times it’s about now I'm concerned
I have this empty feeling in my heart and I think I've been spurned
You’ll have plenty of friends to tag along while you spend your assets
And I will be over here with only memories and regrets
Friends will help you spend your money total strangers will do the same
Have so many friends last night and today they will not know your name
It’s so hard to keep a romance going from far across the pond
especially if the girl is a pretty blue eyed Mayo blonde
