Lyrics Spring Comes to Spiddal - 2008 Remaster - The Waterboys

Well, the lights are on in Standun's and the spell has been broken,
The roadside teahouse door is wide open,
A sign on the wall says "American also spoken!"
As Spring comes to Spiddal.

The village girls go walking by without their coats,
The Irish gaelic college is alive again with folk,
Farmers gather talking, freed from winter's yoke
As Spring comes to Spiddal.

A tourist with a telescope,
And a funny looking German bloke,
And a billy goat, all invoke
The summer soon to bloom.

On a soft and fresh Atlantic air a mist of pollen floats,
On Galway Bay I spy a gaily painted fishing boat
There's a rustle around the Boreens and a song in every throat
As Spring comes to Spiddal.
