How can the small flowers grow

If the wild wind blows

And the cold snow is all around



Where will the frail birds fly

If their homes on high

Have been torn down to the ground



Lift the wings

That carry me away from here and

Fill the Sail

That breaks the line to home

But when I'm miles and miles apart from you

I'm beside you when I think of you - a Stóirín a Grá



How can a tree stand tall

If a rain won't fall

To wash it's branches down



How can a heart survive

Can it stay alive

If its love's denied for long



Lift the wings

That carry me away from here and

Fill the Sail

That breaks the line to home

But when I'm miles and miles apart from you

I'm beside you when I think of you - a Stóirín

And I'm with you when I dream of you - a Stóirín

And a song will bring you near to me - a Stóirín a Gr
