Thread Name: Lyr Req: Tir na Nog (Leo O'Kelly)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Across the misty, morning hills of Eiran
Please don't apologize, Zhenya. I am so damn happy to get this tune out in the open. Fragments of it have tormented me forever and I couldn't, for the life of me, remember where I had heard it. I am sure others (of my years.........hahahaha) have the same problem. The media that we listen to our music on has changed so many times. I had this on a tape made for me by a friend, before I came to my current position of paying for all music. I just couldn't remember where I had heard it. Aside from releaving me of my torment, you reintroduced me to the music of Pat Kilbride.

Now if we can just get the lyrics:

Across the dewy, morning hills of Eirann,
Came Niamh Chinn Óir on her snow white steed
da da da da da daa

Come with me to the fairy land of Tir na N'Og
