A 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 |
