Tir Na Nog - Van Morrison

We were standing in the kingdom

And by the mansion gate

We stood enraptured by the silence

As the birds sang their heavenly song

In Tir Na Nog

We stopped in the church of Ireland

And prayed to our father

And climbed up the mountainside

With fire in our hearts

And we walked all the way to Tir Na Nog

I said with my eyes that

I recognized your chin

It was my long lost friend

To help me from another lifetime

We took each others hands and cried

Like a river when we said hello

And we walked to Tir Na Nog

We made a big connection

On a golden autumn day

We were standing in the garden wet with rain

And our souls were young again in Tir Na Nog

And outside the storm was raging

Outside Jerusalem

We drove in our chariots of fire

Following the big sun in the west

Going up going up to Tir Na Nog

You came into my life

And you filled me and you filled me

Oh, so joyous by the clear cool crystal streams

Where the roads were quiet and still

And we walked all the way to Tir Na Nog

How can we not be attached

After all we’re only human

The only way then is to never come back

Except I that wouldn’t want that would you

If we weren’t together again in Tir Na Nog

We’ve been together before in a different incarnation

And we loved each other then as well

And we sat down in contemplation

Many many many times you kissed mine eyes

In Tir Na Nog
