Counting The Miles Lyrics
A song about County Laois that was recorded by Sean Cuddy.
.
Chorus Nearer to Laois every mile I go. Back to old Erins green shore Back once again where I long to be. In the county I do adore Verse Deep in the midlands of Erin There’s a county I’m longing to see Though its been many years since I left there It holds such fond memories for me Sweet County Laois you’re my homeland To me nowhere else is the same And now I am boarding this jet plane Your face I will see again Chorus Theres Mount Melic, Mount Charles, and Port Laois, Rathdowney, the Swan, Kilmahoe, It still holds such beautiful memories Of days I spent there long ago Ballyfin, Ballyrone ,Ballylinen, The beauty of Comras so fair Your Heavenly Mountains and Valleys Once more I will breath your air, Chorus Though its been many years since I’ve been there Your always in my dreams I’ve never forgotten those places So often I’ve been theret seems Your rivers and streams are so peaceful Your people so gentle and kind My foot steps at last are returning To where I’ll find peace of mind. |
