Song for Ireland Lyrics

Walking all the day
With tall towers where falcons build their nests
Silver wings they fly
They know the call for freedom in their b******
Saw Black Head against the sky
With twisted rocks that run down to the sea
Living on your western shore
Saw summer sun sets, I 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
I 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 sun sets, I 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 that seems so grand and gay
I stood on dingle beach and cast
In wild foam we found Atlantic bass

Living on your western shore
Saw summer sun sets, I 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
We twist and turn all in your air-blue sky

Living on your western shore
Saw summer sun sets, I asked for more
I stood by your Atlantic Sea

And I sang a song for Ireland
