Where glows the Irish heart There lives a subtle spell The faint blue smoke, the gentle heat Of simple talk and tea White road winding to the edge Of bare, untamed land Where dry stone wall or ragged hedge Run wide on either hand Where glows the Irish heart There lives a subtle spell The faint blue smoke, the gentle heat Of simple talk and tea The cottage lights that lure you in From rainy western skies And by the friendly glow within Of simple talk and tea And tales of magic, love or arms From days when princes met To listen, to lay that charm Upon your hearts and heads Where glows the Irish heart There lives a subtle spell The faint blue smoke, the gentle heat Of simple talk and tea There honor shines through pa**ion and desire There beauty blends with laughter Wild hearts never did aspire never did tire Of simple talk and tea Where glows the Irish heart There lives a subtle spell The faint blue smoke, the gentle heat Of simple talk and tea
