I Would Bring You Ireland

I would bring you Ireland

The cool sweet of the Dublin rain

If you would keep my heart for me

In the quiet of your Texas daysAnd my old friend

Will you shelter me from pain?

In return, I'd bring you IrelandOne day I'll build a tower

High upon my Texas plains

I can see from coast to coast

On hot platinum summer daysWhen the dust is still

And the cotton prays for rain

And the thirsty passers by

Wonder why they cameI dreamed of Amarillo

On a foreign night in Dublin

The dust was on my pillow

When the raindrops started fallin'In a hotel window

Where I could see his rainbow

And I thought I'd send my heart to you

'Cause that's the way the wind blowsAnd I'll reclaim my heart one day

We'll sit and watch your children play

And I will bring you lullabies

From the Emerald Isles for back porch daysAnd my old friend

We will always meet again

And I will bring you IrelandI will bring you Ireland

I would bring you Ireland
