Song for Ireland
[Verse 1]
Walking all the day
Near tall towers where falcons build their nests
Silver-winged, they fly
They know the call of freedom in their breasts
[Pre-Chorus]
Saw Black Head against the sky
Where twisted rocks, they run down to the sea
[Chorus]
Living on your western shore
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
I stood by your Atlantic sea
And sang a song for Ireland
[Verse 2]
Talking all the day with true friends
Who try to make you stay
Telling jokes and news
And singing songs to pass the time away
[Pre-Chorus]
Watched the Galway salmon run
Likе silver dancing darting in the sun
[Chorus]
Living on your westеrn shore
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
I stood by your Atlantic sea
And sang a song for Ireland
[Verse 3]
Drinking all the day
In old pubs where fiddlers love to play
Someone touched the bow
He played a reel
Which carried us away
Stood on Dingle beach
And cast through wild foam
We found Atlantic bass
[Chorus]
Living on your western shore
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
I stood by your Atlantic sea
And sang a song for Ireland
[Bridge]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Lying where the falcons fly
They twist and turn, all in their rare blue sky
[Chorus]
Living on your western shore
Saw summer sunsets asked for more
I stood by your Atlantic sea
And sang a song for Ireland
