about

Inspired by warm memories from different trips, this song is dedicated to my friends in beautiful Co. Clare, Ireland.

lyrics

Sweet days in Co. Clare

Chorus:
Oh sometimes, when I’m in bed
My hands folded behind my head
Almost asleep, then I’m there
Such sweet days in Co. Clare.

The cliffs of Moher, I walked alone
In February, cold to the bone
In November, a Burren’s walk
Nobody there, no need to talk
Monday night’s, Doolin Hotel
Friends and music, we played so well
We sang and laughed, the mood so good
To the soul such perfect food

Chorus

Ennistymon, Brendan’s shop
We bought a fiddle, then we stopped
He played a tune, played so well
He found his voice, that I could tell
He closed his eyes, I closed mine
Music floated, all was fine
Tears in me eyes, a moment true
At Sandymount with ocean’s view

Bridge
We took a ferry, my son and me
To bring the fiddle where it should be
Miltown Malbay, such a long way
To Holland from Clare , crossing the Celtic Sea

Chorus

In pitch-dark nights, I hear the sea
The breaker’s sound lulls me to sleep
When I rest from the ballyhoo
I drift away, my mind goes slow
The starlit sky, the endless dome
Makes me lonesome, I long for home
Long for my sweethearts, but once I’m there
My heart returns to Co. Clare

Chorus

Words & Music: Job Cornelissen.
