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
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
IT SEEMED SO GRAND 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 YOUR E'ER BLUE SKY
LIVING ON YOUR WESTERN SHORE
SAW SUMMER SUNSETS
ASKED FOR MORE
I STOOD BY YOUR ATLANTIC SEA
AND SANG A SONG FOR IRELAND
