Silver winged they fly, they know the call of freedom in their breasts.

Saw Black Head against the sky, where twisted rocks run down to the sea.

Living on your western shore,

saw summer sunsets, asked for more.

I stood by your Atlantic Sea and sang a song for Ireland.
Talking all the day,
with true friends who try to make you stay,
telling jokes and news,
singing song to pass the night away.
Watched the Galway salmon run,
like silver, dancing, darting in the sun.
Chorus
Drinking all the day
in old pubs where fiddlers love to play,
saw one touch the bow,
he played a reel which seemed so grand and gay.
Stood on Dingle beach and cast,
in wild foam we found Atlantic Bass.
Chorus

Chorus
Dreaming in the night,
I saw a land where no man had to fight.
Walking in your dawn,
I saw you crying in the morning light.
Lying where the falcons fly,
they twist and turn all in your air blue sky.
Chorus
