Moonshine
Walking out on a stormy dayThe cold wind the fine sea sprayLooking out over Galway bayThe troubled sky all dark and greyFar from these shores there stands libertySo let it beBut every while I would remember
The day we drank moonshine in the rainAnd raised our glasses to the windThe day that we dreamed we could be freeRiding the wings of libertySo here's one more for our friendsAnd here's one for our childrenFeeling the cold rain on our fingertipsAnd moonshine on our lips
So we paid our dues and we packed our bagsMade it thought Ellis Island's ranksAcross the waves to AmericaHearts and souls to the streets and startsFar from our shores we found libertySo let it beBut every while I would remember
The day we drank moonshine in the rainAnd raised our glasses to the windThe day that we dreamed we could be freeRiding the wings of libertySo here's one more for our friendsAnd here's one for our childrenFeeling the cold rain on our fingertipsAnd moonshine on our lips
So we made our wayThrough the Cumberland gapAppalachia never looking backThrough the wind and rainBut nothing evermore would feel the same
All of this life we strive to be freeSo let it beBut every while I would remember
The day we drank moonshine in the rainAnd raised our glasses to the windThe day that we dreamed we could be freeRiding the wings of libertySo here's one more for our friendsAnd here's one for our childrenFeeling the cold rain on our fingertipsAnd moonshine on our lips
Moonshine in the rainAnd raised our glasses to the windThe day that we dreamed we could be freeRiding the wings of libertySo here's one for our friendsAnd here's one our childrenFeeling the cold rain on your fingertipsAnd moonshine on our lips
