I went back with my family to visit friends in Galway, and we visited some of the places we used to hang out. It was a great weekend.
Watching water falling, flowing by me
Listening to it sing, its river melody
All the voices lilting talking laughing
Smiling words of friends as they pass on their way
Chorus
Above the white clouds pass under blue
I close my eyes so I can remember you
Bare feet upon the grass, sunshine on your hair
And music of your voice
Chorus
The Western sun sets red into the evening
Light blue water and the sky, green and grey of grass and stone
Rich scented air falls calm upon on my closed eyes
In the newness of the night, I watch as stars appear
Chorus
Lying by the moonlight on the water
Dancing light of night, moving free and so bright
Feel the breeze of summer warm on my face
Ease into the dawn, fresh sunlight and the moon
Chorus
The morning moon reflects upon the dew fall
And Corrib waters fall down into the bay
Memories flowing down all my days
Stories from my mind, of colour, light and sound
