I have waited long for you to come back home
 To hear you call my name again
 In my heart's deep soul you've not changed at all
 And the years have passed you by
 Your sweet lips that lingered on my skin
 I can feel their heat again
 And your eyes that thrilled with passion's fire
 They watch my every whim
 
 Some say my love, sweet love was lost
 While crossing the raging main
 Or perhaps he has gone with some other girl
 I might never see his face again
 But if my irish love is lost he's the one I do adore
 And for seven long years i'll wait for him
 On the banks of the moorlough shore
 
 He said farewell to castles grand
 Farewell to the foggy hills
 Where the linen waves like bleaching silk
 And the falling stream runs still
 Near there we spent our joyful days but alas they are all gone
 For cruelty has banished him
 Far away from the moorlough shore
