Green And Red Of Mayo lyrics

The Green and Red of Mayo
I can see it still
It`s soft and craggy bogland
It`s tall majestic hills
Where the ocean kisses Ireland
And the waves carress it`s shore
The feeling it came over me
To stay forever more
Forever more

From it`s rolling coastal waters
I can see Croagh Patrick`s peak
Where one Sunday every Summer
The pilgrims climb the reek
Where Saint Patrick in it`s solitude
Looked down across Clew Bay
With a ringing of his bell
Called the faithful there to pray
There to pray
Take me to Clare Island
The home of Granuaile
It`s waters harbour fishes
From the herring to the whale
And now I must depart it
And reality is plain
May the time not pass so slowly
Before I set sail again
Set sail again
