Fiddler's Green - Connemara Lyrics
Speaker: "While I'm sitting hereThe waves of the sea are lappingAgainst the wild shores of ConnemaraThe sky breaksDazzling light pierces throughDown to the waterGiving forth a thousand reflections of silverSo that I have to close my eyesAnd then together with the vile windI fly away to all the placesI've never seen"He said his eyes where looking queer"Can't you take me out of here?Can't you see the sky of Connemara?"This is how his warning goes:"Beware the night a whirlwind blowsBetter leave this town for Connemara"We hit the road, we hitched a rideThe morning faded into nightBut we were on our way to ConnemaraAsylum was a basic rightBut socialism lost the fightThousands headed down to ConnemaraIn my imaginationI can feel the wild wind blowThe morning breeze will wipe away my fearIn my imaginationI can hear the howling seaThe cottage on the shore belongs to meAnd when we reached the Emerald IsleWe stayed in Dublin for a whileBut soon we reached the cliffs of ConnemaraIt's just the place I want to beShining in my fantasyCan't you take me back to ConnemaraConnemara, Connemara on my mindConnemara, where even the rain shinesConnemara, leaving all my troubles behindConnemara on my mind
