  • Thanks man:
    here are the lyrics to that song, by the way, from mary black

    Walking all the day, near tall towers
    where falcons build their nests
    Siver winged they fly,
    they know the call of freedom in their breasts
    Saw Black Head against the sky
    with twisted rocks that run down to the sea
    Living on your western shore,
    saw summer sunsets, 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 sunsets, 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
    it seemed so fine and gay
    Stood on Dingle beach
    and cast in wild foam we found Atlantic bass
    Living on your western shore,
    saw summer sunsets 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 you e'er blue sky
    Living on your western shore,
    saw summer sunsets asked for more
    I stood by your Atlantic sea
    and sang a song for Ireland
