The waves caress it's shore

To stay for ever more,

For ever more,

Verse 3:
(Chords as verse 2)
Take me to Clare island,
The home of Granuaile,
It's waters harbour fishes,
From the herring to the whale,
And now I must depart it,
And reality is plain,
May the time not pass so slowly,
Till I set sail again,
Set sail again,
