| Info: Lyrics: Far across yonder blue lies a true fairy land With the sea rippling over the shingle and sand Where the gay honeysuckle is luring the bee And the green glens of Antrim are calling to me If only you knew how the lamp of the moon Turns a blue irish bay to a silver lagoon You'd imagine the picture of heaven it would be Where the green glens of Antrim are calling to me Soon I hope to return to my own Cushendall 'Tis the one place for me that can outshine them all Sure I know ev'ry stone I recall every tree Where the green glens of Antrim are calling to me I would halt at a cabin close down by the shore And I'd knock with my heart at that wee cabin door While the sun showered gold in the lap of the sea And the green glens of Antrim were smiling at me If only you knew how the lamp of the moon Turns a blue irish bay to a silver lagoon You'd imagine the picture of heaven it would be Where the green glens of Antrim are calling to me Now, I'd be where the people are simple and kind And there's one there for me who's been on my mind And I'd pray that the world would in peace let me be Where the green glens of antrim are heaven to me If only you knew how the lamp of the moon Turns a blue irish bay to a silver lagoon You'd imagine the picture of heaven it would be Where the green glens of Antrim are calling to me | |
