Lay down the stars, my bonnie lass Lay down my heart, we'll make it last The senses aspire to the sparkling of time As the rivers flow, your heart will be mine
She changed my soul, with her angle eyes She gave her love, to set me free Like the waves of the ocean, that come to the shore She belongs by me forever more
On the first of may, all spring will arise As the gardens of Ireland, will be coming alive Tis the first day of wonder, and the first day of light I'm so glad we've arrived, in a freedom so bright
So lay down in the heavens, my bonnie lass Lay down in my arms, we'll make it last In the parting of always, we made our love stand Tis the first day of a future, in this new land
She changed my soul, with her angle eyes She gave her love, to set me free Like the waves of the ocean, that come to the shore She belongs by me forever more
We'll change your wisdom, through your angle eyes We'll sew the seeds, for our childrens lives For at last the aching, has gone far away To bring the future of Ireland, to this new day
