Walking all the day By all towers where falcons build their nests In silver wings they fly For they know the call for freedom in their breasts We saw Black Head against the sky With craggy rocks that run down to the sea When living on your western shore Saw summer sun set, I asked for more I stood by your Atlantic Sea And sang a song for Ireland Drinking all the day In old pubs where fiddlers love to play Saw one take the bow To play a reel that was so grand and gay I stood on dingle beach and cast In the wild foam for the Atlantic ba** When living on your western shore Saw the summer sunset, I asked form more I stood by your Atlantic Sea And 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 pa** the night away We watched the galway salmon run Like silver dancing, darting in the sun When living on your western shore Saw the summer sunset, I asked form more I stood by your Atlantic Sea And sang a song for Ireland Dreaming in the night I saw a land where no-man had to fight And waking in your dawn I saw you crying in the morning light When lying where the falcons fly They twist and turn all in your air-blue sky When living on your western shore Saw the summer sunset, I asked no more I stood by your Atlantic sea And sang a song for Ireland
