The Saw Doctors - Clare Island lyrics

Will you meet me on Clare Island Summer stars are in the sky We'll get the ferry out from Roonagh And wave all our cares goodbye And we'll go dancing at the ceili We'll go kissing on the strand Take our clothes off in the moonlight Skinny-dipping hand in hand And we'll start drinking in the twilight Keep it up until the dawn In both the bars Because there's no guards To take our names and send us home. Will you meet me on Clare Island Gettin' weary of the city Seems so many things have changed Let's head off for Nora Dalys home Where she's walked It never rained So will you meet me on Clare Island And if there's wild and tall white horses And the swell rolls in the bay I won't care if the boat can't sail Sure we'll get home Some other day So will you meet me on Clare Island. (the locals say "in " to the Island and out to the mainland but the song feels right from a tourists point of view) Copyright D.Carton/L.Moran.
