Glen of Emerald

[Verse] Down by the Glen of Emerald Where the wild roses grow The tales of old are whispered In the wind's soft gentle blow [Verse 2] The lark she sings at dusk Above the ancient stone With each note She weaves the past In a voice that's all her own [Chorus] Oh The hills of Erin dance In the twilight's faded glow Where the songs of our ancestors Still through the valleys flow [Verse 3] The river's song is timeless It hums a lullaby To the children of the island Beneath the sapphire sky [Bridge] And in the shadowed forests The fair folk make their way Through heather and through bramble In the quiet of the day [Verse 4] The flute and fiddle marry Beneath the starry night With the guitar's tender strumming They set the world alight
