Song I Would Bring You Ireland



I would bring you Ireland

The cool sweet of the Dublin rain

If you would keep my heart for me

In the quiet of your Texas days

And my old friend, will you shelter me from pain

In return I'd bring you Ireland



One day I'll build a tower

High upon my Texas plains

I can see from coast to coast

On hot platinum summer days

When the dust is still, and the cotton prays for rain

And the thirsty passers-by wonder why they came



I dreamed of Amarillo

On a foreign night in Dublin

The dust was on my pillow

When the raindrops started falling

In a hotel window, where I could see his rainbow

And I thought I'd send my heart to you

Cause that's the way the wind blows



And I'll reclaim my heart one day

We'll sit and watch your children play

And I will bring you lullabies

From the Emerald Isles for back porch days

And my old friend we will always meet again

And I will bring you Ireland

I will bring you Ireland

I would bring you Ireland
