Many miles
I've waled alone
Scarred and blackened cliff lines
On flags of broken stone
A ravens skyline
Saw pride hard won
Where tears fell on the hillsides
Ghosts echo in the dawn
Bright eyes dance in the fire while
I fix my mind upon the ten years I
Called Clare my home
Fell in love and raised a family there
My brothers hearts and ours entwined
A whilе
Bound to the call
This heavy land felt tеnder steps each time we rolled headlong
Out in the grey Atlantic full of fear where none can run
In my mind
Freagh upon the heather
Your wild walls of stone
Come hell or heavy weather
Iridescence in the cold
Been terrified
'Til I knew strong
Spinning wildly in the blackness torn apart and liberated all at once
I burned my hands
Bitten frost out in the reverie
The scars now pale and old
Adrift and lost in fog eyes wide
And awestruck found a place where I belonged
'Least for a while
Spent a decade in a dream
Ever outsider though my daughter here was born
Dear Galways child
Against the grief the madness of the years her freedom spun
And in my dreams I saw my sister there beyond us still singin'
Freagh upon the heather
Your wild walls of stone
Come hell or heavy weather
Iridescent in the cold
Freagh upon the heather
Four white walls our home
Through all the tears of winter
Safe within your lovin' arms
Don't you cry my child
For your old home
If yesterday is dead
Then tomorrow never knows
Mother times
Forever young
These ol tides are turning fast I guess we best keep movin' on
Can't hold on to the past they say the best is yet to come
Here's hopin'
Freagh upon the heather
Your wild walls of stone
Come hell or heavy weather
Iridescent in the cold
Freagh upon the heather
Four white walls our home
Through all the tears of winter
Safe within your lovin' arms
