Nanci Griffith - I Would Bring You Ireland Lyrics
Song I Would Bring You IrelandI would bring you IrelandThe cool sweet of the Dublin rainIf you would keep my heart for meIn the quiet of your Texas daysAnd my old friend, will you shelter me from painIn return I'd bring you IrelandOne day I'll build a towerHigh upon my Texas plainsI can see from coast to coastOn hot platinum summer daysWhen the dust is still, and the cotton prays for rainAnd the thirsty passers-by wonder why they cameI dreamed of AmarilloOn a foreign night in DublinThe dust was on my pillowWhen the raindrops started fallingIn a hotel window, where I could see his rainbowAnd I thought I'd send my heart to youCause that's the way the wind blowsAnd I'll reclaim my heart one dayWe'll sit and watch your children playAnd I will bring you lullabiesFrom the Emerald Isles for back porch daysAnd my old friend we will always meet againAnd I will bring you IrelandI will bring you IrelandI would bring you Ireland
