Emerald Eyes Lyrics

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
