St. George's Folly - Emerald Eyes

Before the light is faded from my eyes
I can see a home that I've never felt before
And although I've never been there, and although I might never go
I can dream of bonny laughter, and of Biddy's peatfire stove
So I'll go, go round, all around the Isle of Green
And I'll sing you a song that got lost in a storm
And our drinks will rosy our cheeks
My lover, she lay in Galway Bay
And a fire burns bright in her eyes
Makes me wish I had a home that's never been
So I'll write, and I'll stay,
And I'll drink my days away
'Bout the lovers, 'Bout the fighters,
'Bout the Ire and the many who'll say
That your home is where your drink is
That your home is with your heart
Well I'll roll and I'll say, keep my troubles away
But the rest of those places fall short
So I'll go, go round, all around the Isle of Green
And I'll sing you a song that got lost in a storm
And our drinks will rosy our cheeks
My lover, she lay in Galway Bay
And a fire burns bright in her eyes
Makes me wish I had a home that's never been
Even though the winds are storming
I can see that emerald green
All I know, my heart is yearning
For a place where I feel at peace
So I'll go, go round, all around the Isle of Green
And I'll sing you a song that got lost in a storm
And our drinks will rosy our cheeks
My lover, she lay in Galway Bay
And a fire burns bright in her eyes
Makes me wish I had a home that's never been
So I'll go, go round, all around the Isle of Green
And I'll sing you a song that got lost in a storm
And our drinks will rosy our cheeks
My lover, she lay in Galway Bay
And a fire burns bright in her eyes
Makes me wish I had a home,
Wish I had a home
Wish I had a home that's never been
