rose betts – irish eyes lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
my mother says i have irish eyes
irish eyes, irish eyes
my mother says i have irish eyes
they go ever so blue under stormy skies
but they’re never so blue as when i let them cry

[verse 2]
my father says i have english hair
english hair, english hair
brown like the bark of an oak somewhere
like the bed of a lake where the hemlock grows
like thе th+rn in the stem of an english rose

[chorus]
i’m a map of thе world and the ones before
one foot in sea and one on shore
every step, every hope flung high
i’m a map of them all with my irish eyes

[verse 3]
my nana says i have travelling feet
travelling feet, travelling feet
slippers for princesses don’t fit me
but i dance to my own drum bright and bold
and my travelling feet always get me home
[verse 4]
my sister says i’ve a restless soul
restless soul, restless soul
easy to catch but i’m hard to hold
like a song on the wind that you caught one day
i get under your skin, then i slip away

[chorus]
i’m a map of the world and the ones before
one foot in sea and one on shore
every step, every hope flung high
i’m a map of them all with my irish eyes
