Lyrics A Song For Ireland - Luke Kelly
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
Where
twisted
rocks
they
run
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
Drinking
all
the
day
In
old
pubs
where
fiddlers
love
to
play
Saw
one
touch
the
bow
He
played
a
reel
which
seemed
so
grand
and
gay
Stood
by
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
Talking
all
the
day
With
true
friends
who
try
to
make
you
stay
Telling
jokes
and
the
news
Singing
songs
to
while
the
time
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
Dreaming
in
the
night
I
saw
a
land
where
no-one
had
to
fight
Waking
in
your
dawn
I
saw
you
crying
in
the
morning
light
Sleeping
where
the
falcons
fly
They
twist
and
turn
all
in
your
rare
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
