“Back to Ireland”
Oh, I wish I could go back to Ireland to the greenest fields I’ve ever seen
And I’d walk on the road out of Doolin to watch the wild waves on the sea
My eyes long to see loughs of Kerry as the sheep gather ’round them to drink
Of the pure crystal water of Ireland & go on their way as I dream
I would stop on Dublin’s streets just to listen to the singer as he sings his lovely song
Then sit near a warm roaring fire and hear a story from so long ago
Oh I wish I could go back to Ireland to the castles that stay in my mind
All the people that passed through their hallways & lived, loved & laughed on her shores
I would stop into a church on a hilltop surrounded by the high crosses there
And sit for a while and just listen to the small, still voice of God

I think you love Ireland. Sounds like a wonderful escape.
You make me want to go there. Perhaps, one day.
