CELTIC WOMAN - Galway Bay lyrics

rate me

<br>

If you ever go across the sea to Ireland, <br />

then maybe at the closing of your day, <br />

you can sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh, <br />

and see the sun go down on Galway Bay. <br />

<br />

Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream, <br />

The women in the meadow making hay, <br />

just to sit beside the turf fire in a cabin, <br />

and watch the barefoot gosoons as they play. <br />

<br />

ooooh...... <br />

<br />

For the breezes blowing o'er the sea's from Ireland, <br />

Are perfumed by the heather as they blow, <br />

And the women in the uplands digging praties, <br />

Speak a language that the strangers do not know. <br />

<br />

Yet the strangers came and tried to teach us their ways, <br />

And they scorned us just for being what we are, <br />

But they might as well go chasin after moon beams, <br />

or light a penny candle from a star. <br />

<br />

And if there's gonna be a life here after, <br />

And faith somehow I'm sure there's gonna be, <br />

I will ask my God to let me make my Heaven, <br />

In that dear land across the Irish sea. <br />

<br />

I will ask my God to let me make my Heaven, <br />

In my dear land across the Irish sea. <br />

<br />

oooooooh...... <br />

<br />

In my dear land across the Irish sea.
