A#m               D#m         A#m           D#m
I thought it was funny when you missed the train
A#m                D#m                 A#m        F
When I rang you at home they said you left yesterday
A#m                 D#m          A#m        D#m
I thought it was strange when your car was found
A#m            D#m            A#m            F
By the tree in ennis where we used to hang around

Chorus:
     A#m        G#                   D#m
Dear Isobel, I hope you're well and what
you've done is right
        A#m                G#
Oh it's been such hell, I wish you well,
   D#m
I hope you're safe tonight
             C#   G#  D#m
It's been a long day coming and long will it last
           C#   G#    D#m
When it's last day leaving, and I'm helping it pass
    C# G#  F#
By loving you more

And who he would become
All the things he'd have done?
Would he have loved you and not let you down?
And would he be stronger than his father?
Don't punish yourself, leave it well alone

Chorus

It's been a long day coming
And long will it last when it's last day leaving
I'm helping it pass by loving, loving you more
