Christy Moore - Wave Up to the Shore lyrics
[Christy Moore - Wave Up to the Shore lyrics]
A daffodil is born and rises in the spring
It opens out it's beauty to
Hear the cricket sing
But as quick as it does grow
It decays away so soon
Before the summer sunshine has
Reached it's golden noon
A stream it does rise in
The mountains so tall
It swells into a river as gently it does fall
It meanders to country through
City and through town
And in the boundless ocean the
River it is drowned
On the seas the winds do rage
And the waves grow so high
As they turn into white horses
Lеaping towards the sky
But soon the waves grow gеntle
No longer do they roar
As they make their lonesome passageway
Up to the pebble shore
If I were like a daffodil
So fair upon the ground
Or like a gentle river with
It's sweet and mellow sound
Like a wave up to the shore
Like a river into the sea
I'd lay down in my resting
Place contented I would be
It opens out it's beauty to
Hear the cricket sing
But as quick as it does grow
It decays away so soon
Before the summer sunshine has
Reached it's golden noon
A stream it does rise in
The mountains so tall
It swells into a river as gently it does fall
It meanders to country through
City and through town
And in the boundless ocean the
River it is drowned
On the seas the winds do rage
And the waves grow so high
As they turn into white horses
Lеaping towards the sky
But soon the waves grow gеntle
No longer do they roar
As they make their lonesome passageway
Up to the pebble shore
If I were like a daffodil
So fair upon the ground
Or like a gentle river with
It's sweet and mellow sound
Like a wave up to the shore
Like a river into the sea
I'd lay down in my resting
Place contented I would be
