| St 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 glass
|
| 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 death 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 glass 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 death 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 glass 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 |
