Baltimore

I’m an Irish woman
That means I cry too much
That means I have trouble
When you go
And I’m that kind of woman
The world’s biggest junkie
That means I have trouble
Saying no
So send me a song on the sweet wings of sorrow
Hold me and I will cry nevermore
'Cause I’m here today, and I’ll be here tomorrow
Fly me away, fly me away from Baltimore
I’m an Irish woman
I love weddings and funerals
Beginnings and endings
The front and the back
And how you’ve always loved
My deep sense of hope
Now I’ve gallons of hope
It’s sense that I lack
So send me a song on the sweet wings of sorrow
Hold me and I will cry nevermore
'Cause I’m here today, and I’ll be here tomorrow
Fly me away, fly me away from Baltimore
I’m an Irish woman
That means there’s whiskey in my glass
And I’ve been here a lifetime
Casing the joint
And I’m that kind of woman
Who cries in her whiskey
If you can’t cry when you’re Irish
Then what’s the point
So I’ll send you a song on the sweet wings of sorrow
Hold you and I will cry nevermore
'Cause I’m here today, but I’ll be gone tomorrow
Flying away, Flying away from Baltimore
