Steal Away Lyrics And Chords By The Fureys And Davie Arthur
An Irish folk song which was a hit for The Furey Brothers And Davie Arthur and written by Phil Coulter. Brilliant song. Also sang by Celtic Thunder. This song is about a couple who decide they had enough of the troubles in Northern Ireland and decide to leave and make a new life for themselves. I never knew it would be one of The Fureys biggest hit songs on Youtube, as of May 2015 it has received over 469,000 views.
[Chorus]
Steal away lets steal away no reason left to stay
For me and you lets start a new and darling steal away
[1]
Lets steal away and chase our dreams and hope they never find us
The dreamy days the empty nights we'll leave them all behind us
[2]
We'll leave behind the city streets the gloom and desolation
The rain the cold just growing old God knows its a hard ould station
[3]
We'll leave behind our memories and make a new beginning
We have to choose to win or loose and it's time we started winning.
Steal away lets steal away no reason left to stay
For me and you lets start a new and darling steal away
[1]
Lets steal away and chase our dreams and hope they never find us
The dreamy days the empty nights we'll leave them all behind us
[2]
We'll leave behind the city streets the gloom and desolation
The rain the cold just growing old God knows its a hard ould station
[3]
We'll leave behind our memories and make a new beginning
We have to choose to win or loose and it's time we started winning.
