Lyrics:
Limerick You’re My Lady
your Shannon waters tears of joy that flows
the beauty that surrounds you
I think about you love where e’re I go
While waking in the arms of distant waters
a new day finds me far away from home
and Limerick You’re My Lady
the one true love that I have ever known
The days when you and I spent endless days of fun
in winter snows and summer’s golden sun
we fished in silver streams, the fabric of my dreams
was fashioned by your loveliness
so now I have to say CHORUS
A gift that time has made to travelers on their way
seeking out the beauty of our land
a shrine where children play
the bells ring out to say
that’s God that we’re alive to see the freedom of each day CHORUS
