The Saw Doctors - Clare Island lyrics

Will you meet me on Clare Island

Summer stars are in the sky

We'll get the ferry out from Roonagh

And wave all our cares goodbye

And we'll go dancing at the ceili

We'll go kissing on the strand

Take our clothes off in the moonlight

Skinny-dipping hand in hand

And we'll start drinking in the twilight

Keep it up until the dawn

In both the bars

Because there's no guards

To take our names and send us home.

Will you meet me on Clare Island

Gettin' weary of the city

Seems so many things have changed

Let's head off for Nora Dalys home

Where she's walked

It never rained

So will you meet me on Clare Island

And if there's wild and tall white horses

And the swell rolls in the bay

I won't care if the boat can't sail

Sure we'll get home

Some other day

So will you meet me on Clare Island.

(the locals say “in “ to the Island and out to the mainland but the song feels right from a tourists point of view)
