Irish Lullaby

I've rewritten the verses, in case you didn't already notice.  Here is my rendition...

Irish Lullaby

over on the island

many years ago

my sister played a song for me on grandma's piano

sure, the chords were simple

but the words they fit so well

and till this day i hear them

ringing like a bell

too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra

too-ra-loo-ra-li

too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra

hush ye now don't cry

too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra

too-ra-loo-ra-li

too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra

that's an irish lullaby

oft in dreams i wander

to a grayish past

among the rows of blooming birch

we would fall and laugh

still my heart beats heavy

but of course those days are gone

so hold me till the morning

tell me i belong
