The Skylark Sing Above The Mountain

The skylark sing above the mountain brow And robin piping on the leafy bough And lush green meads scent of the blooms of May And it's Spring in a green Land far away. I feel homesick at this time every year I close my eyes the dunnock's voice i hear In leafy grove the chaffinch chirp and sing It would be nice to be home for the Spring. It would be nice to go back home right now When there is so much beauty to be seen The birds are singing, wildflowers everywhere And woods and valleys wear their richest green. The currawongs are down from higher hills I hear them calling on the tall gum trees And morning air has breath of Winter chill Whilst it's Spring in Ireland far beyond the seas. If i had enough money i would go back home If only for a month or even two Enjoy the Spring, enjoy the peace and quiet And do the things that i most like to do. The skylark sing above the mountain brow And robin piping on the leafy bough And lush green meads scent of the blooms of May And it's Spring in a green Land far away.
