Song for Ireland

Walking all the day

Near tall towers where falcons build their nests

Silver wing they fly

They know the call of freedom in their breast

So black head against the sky

With twisted rocks that run down to the sea

Living on your western shore

So summer sunsets ask for more

I stood by your Atlantic sea

And sang a song for Ireland

Talking all the day

With two friends who try to make you stay

Telling jokes and news

And singing songs to pass the night away

Watch the gold we summon roll

Like silver dancing, darting in the sun

Living on your western shore

So summer sunsets ask for more

I stood by your Atlantic sea

And sang a song for Ireland

Through 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 your air blue sky

Living on your western shore

So summer sunsets ask for more

I stood by your Atlantic sea

And I sang a song for Ireland
