Irene To Ireland

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I packed your bag by the door Saw your name on the tag Irene, you were laughing But my chest felt that ache You held your dream like a map Folded tight in your hand Heading out past the water To a brand new land [Pre-Chorus] Go on, go on Follow the call If the road gets cold I’ll still stand tall [Chorus] Irene, go far Irene, go bright Chasing the fields Where your heart feels right Irene, fly on Don’t you look back Greener pastures On your path ahead (on your path ahead) [Verse 2] Mama cried at the table Dad just stared at the floor I pretended I was fine Then I cried by the door Take the little prayers we gave you Keep them under your sleeve Every mile that you wander You still belong to me [Pre-Chorus] Go on, go on Find what you need If the rain falls hard Let it wash your feet [Chorus] Irene, go far Irene, go bright Chasing the fields Where your heart feels right Irene, fly on Don’t you look back Greener pastures On your path ahead (on your path ahead) [Bridge] When the nights feel longer And the wind cuts through Hear my voice beside you Saying I believe in you If the world feels heavy And your brave starts to shake Remember where you came from And the love you take [Final Chorus] Irene, go far Irene, go bright Chasing the fields Where your heart feels right Irene, fly on We’ll be your home Greener pastures And you won’t walk alone (you won’t walk alone)
