From the Burren to the Cliffs of Moher
The farm lands to the factory floor
From the streets of Cork, to your front door
From my heart and soul to your golden shore
From the prison cell to the stony wall
The ceili dance to the bar room brawl
From the 'Giant's Steps' to Baltimore
The parliament to the old church hall
Chorus
I can be so near, I can be so far
Where e'er you go well there you are
From an empty nest to a wedding bed
To the working wage for the daily bread
The ghosts, flesh, the bone and blood
The famine, fear, the frost and flood
The slate, the stone and the granite grey
The soft green fields just slipped away
The hedge rows and the silver streams
Now live inside my thoughts and dreams
Chorus
From your summer dress to your silken hair
The slightest touch at the harvest fair
The beating veins of a trembling hand
To a coffin ship from the stolen land
From a last goodbye near the lightning tree
To a love that lies 'neath an angry sea
From the melting snow to the summer breeze
November frost, the falling leaves
Chorus
From your father's field to the castle keep
From the hungry night of restless sleep
In heaven's name, a promise given
A pain forgot, but not forgiven
The dead of night to the birth of morn
The Milky Way to the blinking dawn
The stars, the moon, the hours pass
Like sand inside the hour glass
Chorus
From the Burren to the Cliffs of Moher
The farm lands to the factory floor
From the streets of Cork, to your front door
From my heart and soul to your golden shore
From the prison cell to the stony wall
The ceili dance to the bar room brawl
From the 'Giant's Steps' to Baltimore
The parliament to the old church hall
Chorus
Where e'er you go, well there you are
