Walking all the day
Your tall towers where falcons build their nests
Silver-winged they fly
They know a call of freedom in their breasts
Saw a black head against the sky
With twisted rocks they run down to the sea
Living on your western shore
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
Stood by your Atlantic sea
And sang a song for Ireland
ย
Talking all the day
With true friends who try to make you stay
Telling jokes and news
And singing songs to pass the time away
Watched the Galway salmon run
Like silver, dancing, darting in the sun
Living on your western shore
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
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 a bow
And played a reel that seemed so grand and gay
Stood on Dingle beach and cast
In wild foam and found Atlantic bass
Living on your western shore
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
Stood by your Atlantic sea
And sang a song for Ireland
ย
Dreaming in the night
I see a land where no one has to fight
But waking in the dawn
I see you crying in the morning light
Flying where the falcons fly
They twist and turn in the purple sky
Living on your western shore
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
Stood by your Atlantic sea
And sang a song for Ireland
