Ghost Mice
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
It seemed like everything we heard and hoped might be true
2
We got a ride right away and she took us to the dunes
3
And we fell asleep to the sounds of a carnival
4
From a village further down the beach
5
We woke up the next morning on a bed of tiny flowers,
6
Packed the tent and went to get somethin' to eat
7
We bought a cheap jar of peanut butter and a loaf of fresh white bread,
8
We made sandwiches on the beach; life doesn't get any better than this
9
We walked in for free to the first castle that we found
10
It was empty, it was late, it became our campground
11
And we spotted a tent and we met another camper
12
And he told us his sad story--
13
Well he had been dumped by a girl that he loved and he told us not to worry
14
You can camp anywhere, no one's gonna care; why would they?
15
"It's not like this at home," we told him, "you know"
16
He said your home's so far away
17
We went west all the way 'til the land ran out
18
We slept at an empty house in the middle of a tiny town
19
We met a man at a crossroads who said it was his dream to someday come to Bloomington
20
We thought it was funny because for you and me, it was our dream to be here in Ireland
21
He was a big fan of John Melloncamp; we told him everything we knew about him
22
We invited him to come and stay at our house; when we got to our stop he didn't want us to get out
23
We stayed the night at the house of a guy from Albany
24
He was glad to meet Americans; he made us spaghetti
25
We met a man who said he was a doctor and he took us on some of his house calls
26
He taught us the best way to get a donkey to come to you is not to pay them any attention at all
27
And I crawled to the edge and peeked over my head and looked down to the sea
28
It was two thousand feet to the water below; it looked so blue, it looked so deep
29
And don't ever let 'em tell you that it rains in Ireland
30
Well if they tell you that you can be sure they've never been
31
'Cause the sun is always shinin' and the hills are always green
32
And people are always smilin' and offerin' you drinks
33
We'd set up our tent on the cliffs right by the sea
34
Almost every night and the waves rocked us to sleep
35
The postman from Wales and his friend from England
36
Bought us fries at the westernmost pub
37
We sat with them and two others we'd met
38
And we all watched the postman get drunk
39
And at first the Burren might seem like a waste land of broken stones
40
Look in the cracks and you'll see there's a secret there that grows
41
And Galway City really feels a lot like home
42
We went through Connemara and up to Sligo
43
And at the Slieve League we wouldn't see anything;
44
We decided that we should turn back
45
The mist was so thick that we couldn't find our feet
46
And the trail was called Deadman's Pass
47
On one side it was three thousand feet down to the ocean
48
The other was two thousand feet to the ground
49
And anyway our time was running out
50
And we crossed the country in less than a day
51
Our last ride to Dublin asked us the same things
52
They asked if we had any kin from Ireland;
53
They were surprised when we said no
54
When I said I didn't drink and hadn't tried the Guinness yet
55
They were the first ones to say, "way to go"
56
And as our ferry was leaving the Emerald Isle behind
57
We were already making our plans to come back sometime
58
And don't ever let 'em tell you that it rains in Ireland
59
Well if they tell you that you can be sure they've never been
60
'Cause the sun is always shinin' and the hills are always green
61
And people are always smilin' and offerin' you drinks
