[Intro]
0:00
[Verse]
0:13
There was a house beside the lake
0:13
Its tin roof sang like rain
0:17
While Granny’s voice and stove’s warm glow
0:20
Spun stories through the flame
0:24
[Verse]
0:27
The duck house, with its thatched old roof,
0:27
Looked out across Lough Ree
0:30
And every summer took us there
0:34
Children, wild and free
0:37
[Choras]
0:39
The lake would shimmer in the sun
0:40
The islands called our name
0:43
Inch Mor and Turk where we would roam
0:46
Retracing steps long since gone
0:49
And still the lake remembers all
0:53
It's light its song its tide
0:57
The echos of a childhood home
1:00
Where love and time reside
1:03
[Verse]
1:08
We'd bathe within the harbour's arms
1:08
The sun would warm our skin
1:11
The lake our tub, a giant bath
1:15
Its magic pulled us in
1:18
[Verse]
1:21
A rain tub sat beneath the eaves
1:21
Where decoy ducks would float
1:25
While we played games among the trees
1:28
Each giggle like a note
1:31
[Bridge]
1:35
Inside the dresser proudly stood
1:35
Delph too fine to touch
1:38
But Granny and Mag cleaned them carefully
1:41
And said they meant so much
1:44
They spoke of rocks where fairies dwelled,
1:47
Still rooted in the green
1:51
And with their words they shaped a world
1:54
Of things we’d never seen
1:58
[Choras]
2:00
The lake would shimmer in the sun
2:00
The islands called our name
2:04
Inch mor and turk where we would roam
2:07
Retracing steps long since gone
2:10
And still the lake remembers all
2:13
It's light its song its tide
2:17
The echos of a childhood home
2:20
Where love and time reside
2:24
[Verse]
2:29
The field behind once bloomed with trees
2:29
Where apple blossoms grew
2:32
And Mary, the donkey, came to greet
2:35
With a bray or two
2:39
[Verse]
2:42
But time moved on and changed the land
2:42
Now caravans appear
2:45
When kin and friends, from near and far,
2:48
Come to honour one held dear
2:51
[Bridge]
2:55
Each August brings a festival
2:55
Since I was only ten
2:58
To mourn our John, who heard the call
3:02
From Lough Ree’s depths back then
3:05
Now at the far harbour I stay
3:07
And watch my young son swim
3:11
Where once I splashed the day away
3:14
The light still soft and dim
3:18
[Choras]
3:21
The lake would shimmer in the sun
3:22
The islands called our name
3:26
Inch mor and turk where we would roam
3:29
Retracing steps long since gone
3:33
And still the lake remembers all
3:35
It's light its song its tide
3:39
The echos of a childhood home
3:43
Where love and time reside
3:46
[Outtro]
3:48
I watch Inch Mor in evening light,
3:49
So calm, so broad, so wide
3:52
And think of those who once stood here
3:56
Now gone with time and tide
3:59
Still wind moves softly through the reeds
4:02
And boats glide gently past
4:06
The shore remains beneath the sky
4:09
A song that’s made to last
4:12
[Choras]
4:14
The lake would shimmer in the sun
4:15
The islands called our name
4:19
Inch mor and turk where we would roam
4:21
Retracing steps long since gone
4:25
And still the lake remembers all
4:28
It's light its song its tide
4:32
The echos of a childhood home
4:35
Where love and time reside
4:39
