Lá Fhéile Pádraig – My Land.

My Land

Lyrics: Irish songwriter and novelist Brendan Graham.
Vocals: Secret Garden.

My Land

How green are your valleys, how blue your great skies,
Your mountains stand tall in their glory.
Your rivers run free – the bright stars are your eyes,
Your beauty is endless before me.
For you are the song ever singing in me,
And you are the heart ever true.
For you are my land and you always will be,
The voice ever calling me home to you.
When to your green valleys some day I return,
When you lay your mantle around me.
At rest I will be where the heart will not yearn,
That my land will ever surround me.
For you are the song ever singing in me,
And you are the heart ever true.
For you are my land and you always will be,
The voice ever calling me home to you.
For you are the song ever singing in me,
And you are the heart ever true.
For you are my land and you always will be,
The voice ever calling me home to you.
The voice ever calling me home to you.

When I Call Your Name.

When I Call Your Name.

Lyrics and Vocals: American singer, songwriter, actor and country musician Vince Gill (Vincent Gill).

When I Call Your Name.

I rushed home from work like I always do.
I spent my whole day just thinking of you.
When I walked through the front door, my whole life was changed,
‘Cause nobody answered when I called your name.
A note on the table that told me goodbye.
It said you’d grown weary of living a lie.
Oh, your love has ended, but mine still remains,
But nobody answers when I call your name.
Oh, the lonely sound of my voice calling,
Is driving me insane,
And just like rain, the tears keep falling,
But nobody answers when I call your name.
Oh, the lonely sound of my voice calling,
Is driving me insane,
And just like rain, the tears keep falling,
But nobody answers when I call your name.
Oh, nobody answers when I call your name
