Speaker: "While I'm sitting here The waves of the sea are lapping Against the wild shores of Connemara The sky breaks Dazzling light pierces through Down to the water Giving forth a thousand reflections of silver So that I have to close my eyes And then together with the vile wind I fly away to all the places I've never seen"
He said his eyes where looking queer "Can't you take me out of here? Can't you see the sky of Connemara?" This is how his warning goes: "Beware the night a whirlwind blows Better leave this town for Connemara"
We hit the road, we hitched a ride The morning faded into night But we were on our way to Connemara Asylum was a basic right But socialism lost the fight Thousands headed down to Connemara
In my imagination I can feel the wild wind blow The morning breeze will wipe away my fear In my imagination I can hear the howling sea The cottage on the shore belongs to me
And when we reached the Emerald Isle We stayed in Dublin for a while But soon we reached the cliffs of Connemara It's just the place I want to be Shining in my fantasy Can't you take me back to Connemara
Connemara, Connemara on my mind Connemara, where even the rain shines Connemara, leaving all my troubles behind Connemara on my mind
