| Lay down in the stars, my bonny lass
|
| Lay down in my arms, we’ll make it last
|
| The senses aspire to this far greater time
|
| As the rivers flow your heart will be mine
|
| She changed my soul with her angel eyes
|
| She gave her love to set me free
|
| Like the waves of the ocean that come to the shore
|
| She’d be loved by me forevermore
|
| On the first of May all spring will arise
|
| As the gardens of Eireland will be coming alive
|
| 'Tis the first day of wonder and the first day of light
|
| I’m so glad we’ve arrived in a freedom so bright
|
| So lay down in the heavens, my bonny lass
|
| Lay down in my arms, we’ll make it last
|
| In the parting of old ways, we made our last stand
|
| 'Tis the first day of our future in this new land
|
| She changed my soul with her angel eyes
|
| She gave her love to set me free
|
| Like the waves of the ocean that come to the shore
|
| She’d be loved by me forevermore
|
| We’ll change our wisdom through your angel eyes
|
| We have sown the seeds for our children’s lives
|
| For at last the aching has gone far away
|
| Bring the future of Eireland to this new day |
