The Cliffs Of Moher Song Lyrics

by The Wolfe Tones [ songs ] from the album Child Of Destiny, written by Brian Warfield and sung by Tommy Byrne, a song about meeting a girl on The Cliffs Of Moher and bringing her around Ireland to show her all the beautiful places, then he falls in love with her, but alas it was all in vain as she heads back home to America.

The land of beauty and of mistery, this aincent land I love.
A land of history and tragady, this is the land I love.
Land of beauty and tranquility, of our music and our songs.
A land of mystery and tragedy, this is the land I love, Ireland.


There we walked the Streets Of Ulster, I've seen devided troubled land.
With emblems flags and colours blazing, a divided people a divided land.
On Antrim's Coast we saw great beauty, the Causeway we took photographs
From Derry's Walls right through Lough Eirn's we shared our jokes and songs and laughs.


The land of beauty and of mistery, this aincent land I love.
A land of history and tragady, this is the land I love.
Land of beauty and tranquility, of our music and our songs.
A land of mystery and tragedy, this is the land I love, Ireland.


We said goodbye on The Cliffs Of Moher, in a fleeting glance love passed us by.
As the sun was merging with the ocean and disappering from the sky.
Then the moon rose up in great defiance, the stars were twinkling in the sky.
In the shadows of that summer's evening, we kissed once more and said goodbye, Ireland.

A true love story between Ireland and Irish America, there has never been a more loyal and concerned diaspora than the Irish of America. They are 40 million strong and have always been an extension of Ireland. In times of trouble they have never failed to come to our rescue. We need them now more than ever as Ireland has squandered away an opportunity provided in part by the Irish in America. Love Conqures All.
