1
Wherever you go, there you are
2
There is no escape from your own heart
3
Time is marching on and all my plans are a memory
4
I am stranded here but in my mind I can see
5
Chorus
6
Shimnavale, Shimnavale,
7
Where my poor shipwrecked heart longs to dwell
8
I was young and foolish then
9
How I long to return to Shimnavale
10
I went looking for a better life,
11
Make a fortune, find a pretty wife
12
Some who left before me
13
Have returned home broken men
14
But I'll be rich before I ever set foot there again
15
Chorus
16
Well I know you have to start somewhere
17
Now I'm lonelier than I can bear
18
I felt sure success was waiting here for me to find,
19
Now I'm ready to believe that God has changed his mind
20
Shimnavale, Shimnavale,
21
I was sure in my heart I would prevail
22
Now I'm gone beyond the pale
23
But I'd die a happy man in Shimnavale
24
