The Elders - Saint Kevin lyrics

Saint Kevin walks down the path See a sign for Lynhams Pub and Glendalough this way He steps in with caution look around The boys from Clara Lara just in from bailing hay He seated in the corner sipping a drop of the black stuff And whiskey they beckon him a cheers In steps Tony Murphy and with a smile they tip a gla** He tells him of the years They come from all the Nations to hear your story told Like the fog that curls around the hills Life and d**h they do behold Your words still speak of promise Forever they will flock The valley, the tower, the church and the lakes The vale of Glendalough Young Murphy tells Kevin of the legends Father Cronin always said an angel child was he The truth is all written in Acta Santorum Let's have another gla** and I'll drink a pint with thee We talked on into the night, the barman said it's time me lads So we stepped out in the cold In the moonlight as the rain was lashing down They danced a merry jig with ghosts of old They come from all the Nations to hear your story told Like the fog that curls around the hills Life and d**h they do behold Your words still speak of promise Forever they will flock The valley, the tower, the church and the lakes The vale of Glendalough Oh what a sight, this valley is enchanted land Oh what a dream, the people really care Oh where am I? Give us a gla** of the black stuff We'll walk the misty road and say a prayer Your words still speak of promise Forever they will flock The valley, the tower, the church and the lakes The vale of Glendalough
