Song For Ireland-El McMeen

[00:03.60]Song for Ireland [00:11.16]Walking all the day [00:16.02]Near tall towers where falcons build their nests [00:23.75]Silver-winged they fly [00:28.87]They know the call of freedom in their breasts [00:37.77]Saw Black Head against the sky [00:43.31]Where twisted rocks they run to the sea [00:52.08]Living on your western shore [00:57.34]Saw summer sunsets, asked for more [01:04.22]I stood by your Atlantic Sea [01:10.79]And sang a song for Ireland [01:20.96]Talking all the day [01:25.25]With true friends who try to make you stay [01:33.04]Telling jokes and news [01:38.94]Singing songs to pass the time away [01:46.24]Watched the Galway salmon run [01:53.17]Like silver dancing, darting in the sun [02:00.99]Living on your western shore [02:06.44]Saw summer sunsets, asked for more [02:11.86]I stood by your Atlantic Sea [02:19.35]And sang a song for Ireland [02:29.95]Drinking all the day [02:34.53]In old pubs where fiddlers love to play [02:41.07]Saw one touch the bow [02:46.93]He played a reel which seemed so grand and gay [02:54.60]Stood on Dingle Beach and cast [03:02.66]In wild foam we found Atlantic bass [03:09.43]Living on your western shore [03:15.48]Saw summer sunsets, asked for more [03:22.09]I stood by your Atlantic Sea [03:28.14]And sang a song for Ireland [03:38.70]Dreaming in the night [03:43.24]I saw a land where no one had to fight [03:50.54]Waking in your dawn [03:55.51]I saw you crying in the morning light [04:03.18]Sleeping where the falcons fly [04:11.17]They twist and turn all in your air-blue sky [04:18.82]Living on your western shore [04:24.14]Saw summer sunsets, asked for more [04:30.79]I stood by your Atlantic Sea [04:37.45]And i sang a song for Ireland
