Irish Summer Day

[00:00.86] Tom was a man he was
[00:05.25] Kindly tormented
[00:09.64] Born in the sea he was
[00:13.70] Swimming against it
[00:18.26] They had him cut his hair
[00:22.61] And with that his wild imagination
[00:26.97] One day even his heir
[00:31.23] His only daughter taken
[00:38.72]
[00:48.38] That's when I think he found some solace
[00:56.91] Oh when a young boy came to play
[01:01.55]
[01:06.34] Kerbing the afternoon of a
[01:14.32] A never ending Irish summer day
[01:20.58]
[01:27.11] Mother and Father were too
[01:31.56] Scared of what might have happened
[01:35.86] So nothing was said to me
[01:40.25] Most likely to protect me
[01:44.61] They only ever meant well
[01:48.97] They were just from a very different time
[01:53.32] A time when you could never tell
[01:57.69] A generation guided by the shame
[02:03.35]
[02:11.73] That's when I think he found some solace
[02:20.42] Oh when a young boy came to play
[02:26.02]
[02:30.07] Kerbing the afternoon of a
[02:37.89] A never ending Irish summer day
[02:44.12]
[02:52.00] If only I could share some final thoughts
[03:00.61] If only I could show them who he was
[03:09.32] If only I could show them who he was
[03:21.12] That's when I think he found some solace
[03:29.80] Oh when a young boy came to play
[03:36.48]
[03:39.49] Kerbing the afternoon of a
[03:47.26] A never ending Irish summer day
[03:51.46]
