paroles de chanson Ireland - Tom Paxton

I met you on the beach in June
The bonfire burning bright
Friend of friends I'd known for years
Another summer night
You made room beside you there
Your toes dug in the sand
That distant summer when I found you and you
Found Ireland
The bonfire died, I drove you home
Sometime around three or four
We sat outside and talked and talked
Another hour or more
When you got up to go inside
I had our summer planned
That's when you said that you were leavin' that night
For Ireland
I hung around the beach that week
But nothing felt the same
And tryin' to get started
Was another losin' game
And why I felt so out of things
I could not understand
I only knew that you were gone; you were
In Ireland
I sold my car in Providence
To buy a roundtrip fare
And off I flew to Ireland
And hoped I'd see you there
They knew in O'Donoghue's
Where you'd sung with the band
That distant summer when I found you and you
Found Ireland
They said you'd gone to Galway
Then you'd hitched to Donegal
McGrory's up in Culdaff
Was where you could hear it all
Arlo was on the stage
When I slipped in and took your hand
That distant summer when I found you and we
Found Ireland
I fell in love with Ireland
I fell in love with you
And when you said you felt the same, well
What else could I do
Now all these years of lovin' you
Has all been some sweet command
It's summer now and once again we'll go
Find Ireland
It's summer now and once again we'll go
Find Ireland
