[ti:Galway Bay] [ar:Various] [al:Original Irish Tenors: The Legendary Voices Of Celtic Song] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Galway Bay - Tony Stevens [00:17.10]If you ever go across the sea to Ireland [00:22.29] [00:23.75]Then maybe at the closing of your day [00:28.67] [00:29.92]You will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh [00:36.33] [00:38.47]And see the sun go down on Galway Bay [00:44.98] [00:46.46]Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream [00:50.75] [00:51.65]The women in the meadows making hay [00:56.06] [00:57.37]And to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin [01:03.48] [01:05.67]And watch the barefoot gossoons at their play [01:11.40] [01:13.19]For the breezes blowing over the seas from Ireland [01:17.90] [01:19.48]Are perfumed by the heather as they blow [01:24.07] [01:25.03]And the women in the uplands diggin' prates [01:31.50] [01:33.44]Speak a language that the strangers do not know [01:39.76] [01:40.87]For the strangers came and tried to teach us their way [01:45.53] [01:46.25]They scorned us just for being what we are [01:51.46] [01:52.88]But they might as well go chasing after moonbeams [02:00.04] [02:02.19]Or light a penny candle from a star [02:09.68] [02:11.59]And if there is going to be a life hereafter [02:16.68] [02:18.31]And somehow I am sure there's going to be [02:23.19] [02:24.67]I will ask my God to let me make my heaven [02:31.84] [02:35.10]In that dear land across the Irish sea
