Forty shades of green

Sceala Philosopher Location: NYC

I close my eyes and picture the emerald of the sea
from the fishin boats at Dingle to the shores at Donadee
I miss the River Shannon and the folks at Skibbereen
the moorlands and meadows and their forty shades of green
But most of all I miss a girl in Tipperary town
and most of all I miss her lips as soft as eiderdown
I long again to see and do the things we´ve done and seen
where the breeze is sweet as shalamar and there´s forty shades of green
I wish that I could spend an hour at Dublin´s churning suft
I long to watch the farmers drain the bogs and spade the turf
to see again the thatching of the straw the women clean
I´d walk from Cork to Larne to see those forty shades of green
But most of all I miss a girl in Tipperary town
and most of all I miss her lips as soft as eiderdown
I long again to see and do the things we´ve done and seen
where the breeze is sweet as shalamar and there´s forty shades of green
