Intro
Verse 1
The Atlantic Rain Reminds Me Of Home
And The Sweet Narrow Streets That I Wander Alone
Are Like Scenes From My Childhood And The Air Is Like Wine
And The People Are Friendly And The Music Is Fine
And The Last Time I Saw You On The Street Of The Quays
You Were Wearing The Coat That You Bought In Tralee
And A Wild Rushing River Sang A Wild Forlorn Blues
About Time And Old Promises And A Heart Like A Bruise
Chorus
Come Back To Galway With Spring In Your Stride
Where A Welcome Waits In The Town Of The Tribes
You'll Know Where To Find Me, Just Follow The Tune
Step Light As You Go
Keep A Song On Your Bow
And Come Back Soon
Verse 2
I’ve Been Down To The Claddagh And To St Augustine's Well
I Confess I'm Unmoved By Those Catholic Bells
They Don’t Stab My Heart Like I Know They Stab Yours
I Guess That's One Wound That You Won't Ever Cure
They Were Smoking Reefers In The Old Harbour Bar
And I Wondered A While About Who And What You Are
And A Mandolin Struck Up And A Tin Whistle So Clear
And I Thought To Myself, Man, I Wish He Was Here
Chorus
Come Back To Galway With Spring In Your Stride
Where A Welcome Waits In The Town Of The Tribes
You'll Know Where To Find Me, Just Follow The Tune
Step Light As You Go
Keep A Song On Your Bow
And Come Back Soon
Instrumental
Verse 3
Well, I Moved On Up The Coastline To A Cottage I Found
It Looks Over The Bay, I Can See All Around
Three Islands Like Shadows On The Distant Low Sky
And Strange Silver Mountains So Pleasing To My Eye
I'm Not Bored, Never Idle, I Have Plenty To Do
But My Thoughts And Emotions Keep Returning To You
What You're Dealing With No Man Would Wanna Face
But You'll Meet It, And You'll Defeat It And When You Get To That Place
Chorus
Come Back To Galway With Spring In Your Stride
Where Your Brother Waits In The Town Of The Tribes
You'll Know Where To Find Me, Just Follow The Tune
Step Light As You Go
Keep A Song On Your Bow
And Come Back Soon
Outro
(Repeat And Fade Out)
