Nanci Griffith - I Would Bring You Ireland lyrics

Song I Would Bring You Ireland I would bring you Ireland The cool sweet of the Dublin rain If you would keep my heart for me In the quiet of your Texas days And my old friend, will you shelter me from pain In return I'd bring you Ireland One day I'll build a tower High upon my Texas plains I can see from coast to coast On hot platinum summer days When the dust is still, and the cotton prays for rain And the thirsty pa**ers-by wonder why they came I dreamed of Amarillo On a foreign night in Dublin The dust was on my pillow When the raindrops started falling In a hotel window, where I could see his rainbow And I thought I'd send my heart to you Cause that's the way the wind blows And I'll reclaim my heart one day We'll sit and watch your children play And I will bring you lullabies From the Emerald Isles for back porch days And my old friend we will always meet again And I will bring you Ireland I will bring you Ireland I would bring you Ireland
