|
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 |
|
Soar Black Head against the sky, between the 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 love to play |
|
Someone touched the bow, he played a reel, it seemed so fine 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 I sang a song for Ireland |
