Walking all the day By all towers where falcons build their nests In silver wings they fly, For they know the call for freedom in their breasts, We saw Black Head against the sky With craggy rocks that run down to the sea When living on your western shore, Saw summer sun set, 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, Saw one take the bow, To play a reel that was so grand and gay, I stood on Dingle beach and cast, In the wild foam for the Atlantic bass, When living on your western shore, Saw the summer sunset, I asked form more, I stood by your Atlantic Sea, And sang a song for Ireland
Laughing all the day, With true friends who try to make you stay, Telling jokes and news, And singing songs to pass the night away, We watched the Galway salmon run, Like silver dancing, darting in the sun, When living on your western shore, Saw the summer sunset, I asked form 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, And waking in your dawn, I saw you crying in the morning light, When lying where the falcons fly, They twist and turn all in your air-blue sky, When living on your western shore, Saw the summer sunset, I asked no more, I stood by your Atlantic sea, And sang a song for Ireland
When you feel your love’s been taken When you know there’s something missing In the dark, we’re barely hanging on Then you rest your head upon my chest And you feel like there ain’t nothing left I’m afraid that what we had is gone
Then I think of the start And it echoes a spark And I remember the magic electricity Then I look in my heart There’s a light in the dark Still a flicker of hope that you first gave to me That I wanna keep Please don’t leave Please don’t leave
When you lay there and you’re sleeping Hear the patterns of your breathing And I tell you things you’ve never heard before Asking questions to the ceiling Never knowing what you’re thinking I’m afraid that what we had is gone
Then I think of the start And it echoes a spark And I remember the magic electricity Then I look in my heart There’s a light in the dark Still a flicker of hope that you first gave to me That I wanna keep Please don’t leave Please don’t leave
And I want this to pass And I hope this won’t last Last too long
Then I think of the start And it echoes a spark And I remember the magic electricity Then I look in my heart There’s a light in the dark Still a flicker of hope that you first gave to me That I wanna keep Please don’t leave Please don’t leave
