I hope you accept them from me, too, not just from John in Brisbane cu, Andreas SONG FOR IRELAND Walking all the day By tall towers where falcons build their nests On silver wings they fly For they know the calls of freedom in their breasts We saw Black Head against the sky With craggy rocks that run down to the sea Chorus [after each verse, last time replace "I asked for more" by "I asked no more"] When living on your western shore Saw the summer sunset, 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 I saw one take the bow To play a reel it was so grand and gay I stood on Dingle Beach and cast In the wild foam of the Atlantic bass Laughing all the day With true friends who try to make you stay Telling jokes and news And singing songs to pass the night away We watched the Galway salmon run Like silver dancing, darting in the Sun Dreaming in the night I saw a land where no man had to fight And waking in your dawn I saw you crying in the morning light When lying where the falcons fly They twist and turn all in your air-blue sky
