Chloe Agnew - Galway Bay lyrics

rate me

If you ever go across the sea to Ireland

Then maybe at the closing of your day

You can sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh

And see the sun go down on Galway Bay.

Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream

The women in the meadow making hay

Just to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin

And watch the barefoot gossoons at their play.

For the breezes blowing o'er the sea from Ireland

Are perfumed by the heather as they blow

And the women in the uplands digging praties

Speak a language that the strangers do not know.

Yet the strangers came and tried to teach us their way

And they scorned us just for being what we are

But they might as well go chasing after moonbeams

Or light a penny candle from a star.

And if there is going to be a life hereafter

And faith, somehow I'm sure there's going to be

I will ask my God to let me make my heaven

In that dear land across the Irish sea.

I will ask my God to let me make my heaven

In my dear land across the Irish sea.

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