letra de the irish girl - june tabor
i walked on a northern sh-r-
where the sandywort sped on before the ocean’s blast
the gr-ss ran like lemmings for the dune’s high edge
and i thought it meant like the gr-ss
we bend in the driving gale
and scarcely paused to think what makes the wind so
strong
or if there’s a refuge from the driver’s flag
but then i heard the saddest song
of the irish girl
the irish girl
her eyes through a sparkling red
like raindrops on a laurel when the moon appears
she sang of her sorrow through the stinging spread
and through the sweeter brine, the salt of tears,
i weep for the lost of a love
who’s gone brooding now and silent as a standing stone
two sides of a coin we rolled a battered roll
but in time he chose to leave alone
his irish girl
his irish girl
i touched her and spoke my name
for it seems she didn’t know me for the song she sang
she said, oh i know your face but here’s the shame
for though i knew the boy, who knows the man
and i wept who might turn for the fool
who never saw the joys that make a blind man smile
seeking his fortune while the brightest jewel
was within his reach all the while
the irish girl
his irish girl
