Is this it Skarpi?

My Heart's Tonight in Ireland

In the town of Scariff the sun was shining in the sky
When Willie Clancy played his pipes and the tears welled in my eyes.
Many years have passed and gone since the times we had there
But my heart's tonight in Ireland in the sweet County Clare.

Chorus:
My heart tonight is far away across the rolling sea
In the sweet Milltown Malbay it is there I'd love to be.
So long ago and far away but nothing can compare
My heart's tonight in Ireland in the sweet County Clare.

That August in Kilrush when the rain was lashing down
And our hotel was that haybarn on the outskirts of town.
We were all sick and feverish and Dolan had the flu,
But Johnny produced some whiskey and the sun came shining through.

Chorus

Those nights in Six Mile Bridge when the songs and music flowed
And it came to closing time sure the lights were turned down low
And the sergeant from Kilkishin he would buy us all one more
And we never left that pub before the clock was striking four.

Chorus

Lahinch and Enistymon, Lisceanar and Kilkee
But best of all was Milltown when the music flowed so free
Willie Clancy in the County Clare I'm ever in your debt
For the sights and sounds of yesterday are shining memories yet

Chorus

... And can atheists be included in your list of friends?
