When words fail you, don't say why
Say Ireland
Say Ireland and I'll tell you why
When bombs dismay you, don't just cry
Cry Ireland
Cry Ireland
Cry Ireland
Cry Ireland and I'll tell you why
(How much time have you got?)
Where are my Irish roots?
Where did I get those boots?
Why do I not like suits and ties?
And why so shy in front of people?
It's on top of a steeple that I belong
Far from the maddening crowd
As far as I am allowed
Far from the maddening crowd
As far as I am allowed
Far from the maddening crowd (and the crack was in the ceiling)
As far as I am allowed
Say Ireland
Say (Ireland, Ireland, Ireland, Ireland, Ireland)
Say (Ireland, Ireland, Ireland, Ireland, Ireland)
Say (Ireland, Ireland, Ireland, Ireland, Ireland)
Say (Ireland, Ireland, Ireland, Ireland, Ireland)
Say (Ireland, Ireland, Ireland, Ireland, Ireland)
Say
When words fail you, don't say why
Say Ireland
(Ireland, Ireland, Ireland, Ireland)
(Ireland, Ireland, Ireland, Ireland, Ireland)
Say Ireland (Ireland, Ireland)
