Lyrics: I wish I was in Carrighfergus. Only for nights in Ballygrant. I would swim over the deepest ocean. Only for nights in Ballygrant. But the sea is wide and I can't get over. And neither have I wings to fly. If I could find me a handsome boatsman.

The highlight of the CD, however, is the duet “Carrighfergus”, a song about a lovelorn, aging Irishman sung with Cedric Smith.
The main vocals of "Carrighfergus" are sung by Cedric Smith. "Lullaby" uses the words of a poem by William Blake Prologue intended for a dramatic piece of King Edward the Fourth. The song was written for the 1983 Stratford Festival of Canada production of Blake by Elliott Hayes and performed by Douglas Campbell. Notes
