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 [ song lyrics ] who are the group in the youtube video, and written by Phil Coulter. Brilliant song. Also sang by Celtic Thunder and Irish singer Tommy Flemming. 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.
