1 West 
I was sitting by the window late one night 
My nurse said I had a visitor
I said alright

In walked Karen Brannon
Intern chaplain on the floor
She was kind and cool and brilliant
Rose of Tralee '94

I said Rose of Tralee
Can you find me a meadow
And Rose of Tralee
Can you find a way to heal me
Cause I'm up in my head 
And I can't get out of bed 
But hey look if I'm too far gone
Take this note and pass it on

They let me out near three weeks later 
I quit my job on that same day 
Drove east for Grand Manan
Was cleansed by the waters of Fundy Bay

I delivered groceries to the locals 
From the local IGA
Life was good till my mind began to slip away

I turned to the sea and watched the flies inhaled by swallows
Could it be the same for me
That I can't escape the chase of ails and sorrows
Closing in round my head
Want an open field instead 
Could make it work 
If I'm not too far gone 
I'll write a note and pass it on

Used to dream of St. John River 
Where in boasts of plasticine 
I'd float away
Away
Years later I got sicker 
And cheated out of fantasy
Away
Away

Landed west of Quispamsis 
It's the last stop on the SMT
Built a cabin as good as any place for a restless heart to be 
Behind the cabin was a clearing
Behind the clearing another home
And in the home at least a dozen like me 
Who thought they're better off alone 

So I wrote to the Rose of Tralee
Hey I did find me a meadow
And Rose of Tralee 
I did find a way to heal me
I got out of my head
I live for them instead
And hey look
No one's too far gone
So take this note and pass it on
