Song for Ireland

Walking all the day
Near tall towers where falcons build their nests
Silver wing they fly
They know the call of freedom in their breast

So black head against the sky
With twisted rocks that run down to the sea
Living on your western shore
So summer sunsets ask for more
I stood by your Atlantic sea
And sang a song for Ireland

Talking all the day
With two friends who try to make you stay
Telling jokes and news
And singing songs to pass the night away

Watch the gold we summon roll
Like silver dancing, darting in the sun
Living on your western shore
So summer sunsets ask for more
I stood by your Atlantic sea
And sang a song for Ireland

Through 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
So summer sunsets ask for more
I stood by your Atlantic sea
And I sang a song for Ireland
