lyrics

I am going to the country, going down that verdant lane

With nothing but a whistle in my hand, and a pocket full of rain

Can you hear that distant sound coming down the West Clare Railway

Running with the shades of gloria



The wind is full of memories that murmur and sigh

Hills lie in the foaming grass of Clare under the cold moon's eye

But you should come and see them now when they are on fire

And running with the shades of gloria



And the waves roll at the headland when the tide is rising there

And here there is starlight falling on the hills of Clare

I knew them when i was hungry and I knew them when I was scared

And running with the shades of gloria



And I am going to the country where Miko in his prime

Weaves a thread of melody in his own sweet time

You can hear him sing and whistle any time you care

To go running with the shades of gloria



I am going to the country, going down that verdant lane

With nothing but a whistle in my hand and a pocket full of rain

Can you hear that distant sound coming down the West Clare Railway

Running with the shades of gloria
