[ti:Galway Bay] [ar:John McDermott] [al:The Essential Collection] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Galway Bay - The Irish Tenors [00:17.40]If you ever go across the sea to Ireland [00:21.16] [00:23.05]Then maybe at the closing of your day [00:26.20] [00:28.07]You will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh [00:32.26] [00:33.94]And see the sun go down on Galway Bay [00:37.84] [00:42.02]Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream [00:46.46] [00:47.06]The women in the meadow making hay [00:50.37] [00:51.13]And to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin [00:55.94] [00:57.22]And watch the barefoot gossoons at their play [01:02.75] [01:10.55]For the breezes blowing o'er the seas from Ireland [01:14.31] [01:15.72]Are perfumed by the heather as they bloom [01:20.08] [01:20.63]And the women in the uplands diggin' praties [01:25.01] [01:26.39]Speak a language that the strangers do not know [01:30.02] [01:32.29]For the stranger came and tried to teach us their way [01:39.42] [01:40.01]They scorned us just for being what we are [01:43.52] [01:44.86]But they might as well go chasing after moonbeams [01:49.02] [01:51.05]Or light a penny candle from a star [01:55.52] [02:00.68]And if there's going to be a life hereafter [02:05.55] [02:08.10]And somehow I am sure there's going to be [02:12.52] [02:14.38]I will ask my god to let me make my heaven [02:20.21] [02:22.94]In that dear land across the Irish sea
