skies of ireland

The sky of Ireland is an ocean of clouds and light

The sky of Ireland is a carpet running fast

The sky of Ireland has your eyes if you look up there

It drowns you in green and covers you in blue

It covers you in green and drowns you in blue

The sky of Ireland feeds with peat-moss and wool

The sky of Ireland combs its hair in the moonlight

The sky of Ireland is a flock grazing in the sky

It gets drunk on stars at night and in the morning it's light

It gets drunk on stars and in the morning it's light

Form Donegal to the Aran Islands

From Dublin to Connemara

Wherever you're travelling with gypsies or kings

The sky of Ireland moves with you

The sky of Ireland is within you

The sky of Ireland is a huge hat filled with rain

The sky of Ireland is a child sleeping on the beach

The sky of Ireland at times turns the world into black and white

But after a moment it makes the colours shine more than the real ones

But after a moment it makes them shine more than the real ones

The sky of Ireland is a woman often changing her mood

The sky of Ireland is a skirt spinning in the sun

The sky of Ireland is God playing the accordion

It opens and closes to the rhythm of the music

Form Donegal to the Aran Islands

From Dublin to Connemara

Wherever you're travelling with gypsies or kings

The sky of Ireland moves with you

The sky of Ireland is within you
