Walking all the day,
by tall towers where falcons build their nests
In silver wings they fly,
they know the call of freedom in their breasts
Saw Black Head against the sky,
where twisted rocks may run down to the sea
Living on your Western shore,
saw summer sunsets, I asked for more,
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
and I sang a song for Ireland
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
I stood on Dingle Beach and cast,
in wild foam we found Atlantic bass,
Living on your Western shore,
saw summer sunsets, I asked for more,
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
and I sang a song for Ireland
Laughing all the day,
with true friends who try to make you stay
Telling jokes and news,
and singing songs to while the time away,
We watched the Galway salmon run,
like silver dancing, darting in the sun
Living on your Western shore,
saw summer sunsets, I asked for more,
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
and I sang a song for Ireland
Dreaming in the night,
I saw a land where no one had to fight
And waking in your dawn,
I saw you crying in the morning light
Sleeping where the falcons fly,
they twist and turn all in your air-blue sky
Living on your Western shore,
saw summer sunsets, I asked for more,
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
and I sang a song for Ireland
