Song for Ireland |
Walking all the day |
Near tall towers where falcons build their nests |
Siver winged they fly |
They know the call of freedom in their breasts |
Saw Black Head against the sky |
With twisted rocks that run down to the sea |
Living on your western shore |
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more |
I stood by your Atlantic sea |
And sang a song for Ireland |
Talking all the day |
With true friends who try to make you stay |
Telling jokes and news |
Singing songs to pass the night away |
Watched the Galway salmon run |
Like silver dancing, darting in the sun |
Living on your western shore |
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more |
I stood by your Atlantic sea |
And sang a song for Ireland |
Drinking all the day |
In old pubs where fiddlers loved to play |
Someone touched the bow |
He played a reel, it seemed so grand and gay |
Stood on Dingle beach |
And cast in wild foam, we found Atlantic bass |
Living on your western shore |
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more |
I stood by your Atlantic sea |
And sang a song for Ireland |
Dreaming in the night |
I saw a land where no man had to fight |
Waking in your dawn |
I saw you crying in the morning light |
Lying where the falcons fly |
They twist and turn all in you e’er blue sky |
Living on your western shore |
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more |
I stood by your Atlantic sea |
And sang a song for Ireland |
