The Cliffs Of Moher

Brian Warfield

Oh, I met her on the cliffs of Moher
A lovely girl in a lovely land
She said she came from Philadelphia
A city in a far-off land
She always wanted to see Ireland
A place she calls her ancestral home
Her people came from Tipperary
From Cork, from Belfast and Tyrone

[Chorus]
A land of beauty and of mystery
This ancient land that I love
A land of history and tragedy
This is the land I love
Land of beauty and tranquility
Of our music and our song
A land of mystery and history
This is the land I love

Ireland!

So I brought her round the Ring of Kerry
Killarney's lakes and Cashel's halls
Through lofty hills and pleasant valleys
She found a land that was her own
In the Georgian streets of Dublin city
Love blossomed like a summer's rose
Then to Tara's hill of ancient legend
And Newgrange at the evening's close

[Chorus]
A land of beauty and of mystery
This ancient land that I love
A land of history and tragedy
This is the land I love
Land of beauty and tranquility
Of our music and our song
A land of mystery and history
This is the land I love

Ireland!

Then, we walked the streets of Ulster
I've seen a divided, troubled land
With emblems, flags and colours blazing
A divided people, a divided land
On Antrim's coast, we saw great beauty
From the causeway, we took photographs
From Derry's walls, right through Lough Erne
We shared our jokes and songs and laughs

[Chorus]
A land of beauty and of mystery
This ancient land that I love
A land of history and tragedy
This is the land I love
Land of beauty and tranquility
Of our music and our song
A land of mystery and history
This is the land I love

Ireland!

We said goodbye on the Cliffs of Moher
In a fleeting glance, love passed us by
As the sun was merging with the ocean
And disappearing from the sky
Then the moon rose up in great defiance
The stars were twinkling in the sky
In the shadows of that summer's evening
We kissed once more and said goodbye

Ireland!
