Donegal Rain - Andy M. Stewart

Donegal Rain Lyrics

My darling, do not break your heart
Though I leave this Irish shore
Though their cruel laws may force us to part
Fate may join we two once moreTake this farewell kiss as a token
Of my love while far I stray
For true love will never be broken
Let me kiss your tears awayLike the rain, like the rain
When he turned his back to Donegal
Her tears fell like the rainDon't let your eyes fill with sorrow, love
Don't wet your pretty cheeks with tears
There will come a bright new tomorrow, love
There will come an end to fearsDark may seem our lives December
Time will bring to us the May
Love will guide me back remember
Let me kiss your tears awayLike the rain, like the rain
When he turned his back to Donegal
Her tears fell like the rainTake this jewelled ring to wear, my love
While I am o'er the wave

Next my heart you know I will wear, my love
This lock of hair you gaveKiss me once before we sever
For my safety say, you'll pray
You will be my dearest, forever, love
Let me kiss your tears awayLike the rain, just falling like the rain
When he turned his back to Donegal
Her tears fell like the rainLike the rain, like the rain
When he turned his back to Donegal
His tears fell like the rain
