Hill Of Thieves

For too long now I've been a stranger here

To the hills above the Glenshane and your rocks and your rain

When the silent souls haunt the Priory walls

In the wind they sing "Come away, come away"

To the murmuring stream with the town below

In the babbling swell of the winding row

And you still might here the great O'Cahan Clan

"Come away", they sing, "to the Benedy Glen"

Where the hound of the plane has walked this land

And the loneliest mile with a sword in his hand

And his blood runs still in ever stream and glen

And his home can be seen from the Hill of the Thieves

For too long now I've been a stranger here

To the hills above the Glenshane and your rocks and your rain

When the silent souls haunt the Priory walls

In the wind they sing "Come away, come away"
