lyrics

they're swimming the horses down at the pier
they're going to race them again this year
you hear them blowing
throwing their heads up
over the waves

didn't we roam far when the weather was fine
laugh and drink the red red wine
like all the other drunken lovers climbing their ivy vines
to the moon

the winds out west will come back to haunt me
back here in this reverie
a strayaway cry is heard
it echoes like the night bird
out over Dooneen

they're swimming the horses down at the pier
they're going to race them again this year
you hear them blowing
throwing their heads up
over the waves
