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 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 They 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
