Lyrics:
|
I just received a letter from my home in Ireland,
The scribble so familiar; t’was my mother’s feeble hand. A house that rang with music and with laughter now is still; Dear Danny, it’s so lonely now among the Wicklow hills. Chorus As I gaze across the mountains, I relive a moment’s joy - The same old Wicklow mountains where you rambled as a boy. Your photo as a child; that picture’s by my bedside still, And each night I pray that you’ll come back home among the Wicklow hills Do you remember long ago when in Summer, you would stroll Down where the crystal mountain streams to the Slaney’s water roll. Do you recall your young companion who talks about you still, And you know who she’s waiting for among the Wicklow hills. Chorus Suggestion regarding the last line of chorus: Many performers repeat this line instrumentally after first verse, and repeat it vocally after the second verse, slowing at end. |
