They envy me my hills of Clare
The white girls calling in the soft sea air
So much to lose

And yet I'd leave the hills of Clare
Live in a desert if I had you there
What would I lose
If I could choose

If I could choose
A pleace to walk with you
I'd choose the longest road
And it would lead us to
A house that no one knew

Bellows by the fire
The turf smoke rising higher
Than the lark thatwings and always
Sings of you

If I could choose
A time to talk with you
I'd choose the longest day
And over all the hills of Clare
I'd shout the news

And I would tell them
How a day could last forever
And I'd never leave your side
If I could choose

If I could choose
A time to talk with you
I'd choose the longest day
And over all the hills of Clare
I'd shout the news

And I would tell them
How a day could last forever
And I'd never leave your side
If I could choose.
