Far across yonder blue lies a true fairy land With the sea rippling over the shingle and sand Where the gay honeysuckle is luring the bee And the green glens of Antrim are calling to me Sure, if only you knew how the light of the moon Turns a blue Irish bay to a silver lagoon You'd imagine a picture of heaven it would be Where the green glens of Antrim are welcoming me ♪ Soon I hope to return to my own Cushendall It's the one place on Earth that can outshine them all Sure I know every stone I recall every tree Where the green glens of Antrim are heaven to me I'd be where the people are simple and kind And among stand the one that's been eyeing my mind Oh, I pray that the world would in peace, let me be Where the green glens of Antrim are calling to me Where the green glens of Antrim are calling to me
