"Fermanagh Love Song" lyrics

Lonely, the wind and the wild waves that roam
In the glimmering shades around Lough Erne
My heart beats at night for the love of my life
A love I had won and then have lost

By the wild, rushing stream
Where the wild roses bloom
Perched by the thorns
But how sweet was the rose
You're my wild Irish rose
The fairest in all of Fermanagh
The sweetest flower of all
Of all of the flowers that bloom in the land

We will walk hand-in-hand, through midsummer nights' dreams
I'm the king of the world with his queen
You smiled in the mist the moment we kissed
I awoke with a sigh to find you gone

By the wild, rushing stream
Where the wild roses bloom
Perched by the thorns
But how sweet was the rose
You're my wild Irish rose
The fairest in all of Fermanagh
The sweetest flower of all
Of all of the flowers that bloom in the land

(Fermanagh. Fermanagh)

On my island of dreams, the ace will find his queen
The magic of our love will bloom again
In the mists of my mind, once again you are mine
But the joker was wild and you were gone

By the wild, rushing stream
Where the wild roses bloom
Perched by the thorns
But how sweet was the rose
You're my wild Irish rose
The fairest in all of Fermanagh
The sweetest flower of all
Of all of the flowers that bloom in the land
