[00:00.00]A Song For Ireland - Luke Kelly
[00:15.36]Walking all the day
[00:18.95]Near tall towers where falcons
[00:22.55]Build their nests
[00:25.83]Silver wings they fly
[00:29.83]They know the call for freedom
[00:33.45]In their breasts
[00:35.79]
[00:36.36]Saw black head against the sky
[00:41.50]Where twisted rocks
[00:43.70]They run to the sea
[00:48.35]Living on your western shore
[00:53.26]Saw summer sun sets
[00:56.77]I asked for more
[00:59.29]
[00:59.80]I stood by your Atlantic Sea
[01:04.93]And I sang a song for Ireland
[01:10.81]Drinking all the day
[01:14.27]
[01:14.99]In old pubs where fiddlers love to play
[01:21.62]Someone touched the bow
[01:24.98]
[01:25.49]He played a reel
[01:27.96]It seemed so fine and gay
[01:32.14]Stand on Dingle beach and cast
[01:37.19]In wild foam we found Atlantic bass
[01:43.88]Living on your western shore
[01:48.65]Saw summer sunsets asked for more
[01:55.30]I stood by your Atlantic sea
[02:00.51]And I sang a song for Ireland
[02:06.11]
[02:34.28]Talking all the day
[02:38.20]With true friends try to make you stay
[02:44.31]
[02:44.86]Telling jokes and news
[02:48.88]Singing songs to while the time away
[02:55.42]Watched the galway salmon run
[03:00.43]Like silver dancing darting in the sun
[03:07.06]Living on your western shore
[03:11.98]Saw summer sunsets I asked for more
[03:18.52]I stood by your Atlantic Sea
[03:23.54]And I sang a song for Ireland
[03:29.50]Dreaming in the night
[03:32.46]
[03:33.10]I saw a land where
[03:35.61]No one had to fight
[03:39.84]Waking in your dawn
[03:43.15]
[03:43.70]I saw you crying in the morning light
[03:49.87]
[03:50.55]Sliding where the Falcons fly
[03:55.31]They twist and turn all
[03:57.69]In you ever blue sky
[04:01.91]Living on your western shore
[04:06.75]Saw summer sunsets asked for more
[04:13.40]I stood by your Atlantic sea
[04:18.10]And I sang a song for Ireland
