You came here from a distant shore
By your side a friend and an open smile
Coming over the mountains
On the winding road
You sit at my table
As your stories unfold
Here is my home now
Looking out at the sea
Always wanted to be there
On Atlantic shore
How can we listen to your heart
When we cannot hear and understand ourselves
With a soul full of music
Still refusing to dance
But you knew all the old songs
You’re a stranger no more
Here is my home now
Looking out at the sea
Always wanted to be there
On Atlantic shore
You know it’s never been easy
I could have told you so Your presence will linger
On Atlantic shore
This song always makes me want to jump on a plane and go straight back to Northwestern Ireland and just sit on a cliff alone....and stay there forever. Happily.
