For too long now, I’ve been a stranger here To the hills above Glenshane And your rocks, and your rain Where the silent souls haunt the Priory walls In the wind they sing “Come away, come away”
To the murmuring stream with the town below And the babbling swell of the winding Roe And you still might hear the great O'Cahan Clan “Come away” they say "to the Benedy Glen".
Where the Hound of the Plain has walked this land And the loneliest mile with a sword in his hand And his blood runs still In every stream and glen And his home is seen from the Hill of The Thieves
For too long now I’ve been a stranger here To the hills above Glenshane And your rocks and your rain And the silent soul haunts the Priory walls In the wind they sing “Come away, come away”
