The Saw Doctors - Carry Me Away lyrics

This song was inspired by Ray Buckly , who loved to fish Lough Corrib. His final wish was fulfilled when his ashes were scattered over the waters of the lake. In the twilight of the evening Follow the tail light trail Like fairy lights in the boreens On the drumlins of the lake And fill the air with stories From early until late And fill your empty gla**es Where I lie in wait Carry me away And when the moment feels right Take me to the shore With your torches and your flashlights Be careful in the boats Turn north at rabbit island And up past green fields bay May the night be calm and gentle And the moonlight light your way Carry me away And some where up near inchagoill In the embers of the night Switch of all the engines At the birth of dawns first light And someone sing a happy song When everyone's arrived And scatter me forever Where I've felt most alive Carry me away Where I'll hear the water lapping Up against the island See the may flies dapping Hear the trout a-rising And see the camp fire burning And the oul' black kettle boiling And hear a reel a-singing Off towards the horizon Carry me away Copyright D.Carton/L.Moran.
