Eyes Of Ireland

Listen now boys

My grandmother said

I'll tell you a story and

Then off to bed

There once was a time

We lived off the land

Harvest would come

And we all lent a hand

But winds blew our lives

And scattered our seeds

Changing the landscape

From flowers to weeds

See in the graveyard

The families gone

The grandest of tombstones

Carry them on

When you sail from the Harbour

It's your last eyes of Ireland

We tended the fire

And faeries appeased

The flame never died

Until we had to leave

And when we were gone

The house tumbled down

And covered our footprints

We'd left on the ground

When you sail from the Harbour

It's your last eyes of Ireland

My eyes are now tired

And no longer see

But visions of Ireland

Linger in me

So carry your past

In the rooms of your heart

And you'll never he empty

Of love when you part

When you sail from the Harbour

It's your last eyes of Ireland
