W:Come by the hills to the land where fancy is free.
W:And stand where the peaks meet the sky and the loughs meet the sea,
W:Where the rivers run clear and the bracken is gold in the sun,
W:And the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done.
W:
W:Come by the hills to the land where life is a song.
W:And sing while the birds fill the air with their joy all day long,
W:Where the trees sway in time and even the wind sings in tune,
W:And the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done.
W:
W:Come by the hills to the land where legend remains.
W:Where stories of old fill the heart and may yet come again,
W:Where the past has been lost and the future is still to be won,
W:And the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done.
W:
W:Come by the hills to the land where fancy is free.
W:And stand where the peaks meet the sky and the loughs meet the sea,
W:Where the rivers run clear and the bracken is gold in the sun,
W:And the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done.
