Near tall towers where falcons build their nests
Silver winged they fly
They know the call for 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 love to play
Someone touched the bow
He played a reel that seems so fine and gay
I 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 your air-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
Walking all the day Near tall towers where falcons build their nests Silver winged they fly They know the call for 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 love to play Someone touched the bow He played a reel that seems so fine and gay I 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 your air-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 Explain Request ×
