A Sea of Green
So today's St. Patty's Day, everyone is out in GREEN and having a jolly ol' time. I guess everyone wants a piece of the famous "luck of the Irish!", I know I could use some luck in my life right about now.
Anyways I see little girls outside with red hair flying and wearing cute little shamrock headbands and in green from head to toe. They look so cute.
T'was a day of solemn gladness
As the air lay soft as cream,
And the emerald grasses shimmered
In the springtime sun of dreams.
I stood amongst the flowers,
Stroked my hands along their stems,
As I looked deep into your eyes,
That sparkled like rare gems.
Your hair it billowed gently,
Red as fire amongst the green.
In a field of gorgeous flowers,
You're the greatest beauty I had seen.
I reach out just to hold you,
But you're gone before we touch.
Mirage of the green desert,
And insubstantial as such.
Only shamrocks,
The other beauty gone.
The Emerald Isle weeps without you,
As I have, since you've gone.
As my tears well up inside me,
And I fall to my knees,
I call your name out to the sun,
It lingers on the breeze.
And may St.Patrick save me
From my sorrows and my tears,
'Cos Lord knows how I'm going to cope
Without you all these years.
So now I drown my sorrows,
Back at O'Brien's Bar.
I reek of draught and ashtray,
And stumbled out 'neath the stars.
For they shall guide my way now,
For I fear I can't go on.
I take my seat on rivers bank,
And start to sing my song,
T'was a day of solemn gladness
As the air lay soft as cream,
And the emerald grasses shimmered
In the springtime sun of dreams.
I stood amongst the flowers,
Stroked my hands along their stems,
As I looked deep into your eyes,
That sparkled like rare gems.
Your hair it billowed gently,
Red as fire amongst the green.
In a field of gorgeous flowers,
You're the greatest beauty I had seen.
I reach out just to hold you,
But you're gone before we touch.
Mirage of the green desert,
And insubstantial as such.
"Only shamrocks,
The other beauty gone.
The Emerald Isle weeps without you,
As I have, since you've gone."
