Cara Dillon Lyrics

Cara Dillon - She's Like The Swallow Lyrics

She's like a swallow that flies so high
She's like the river that never runs dry
She's like the sunshine on the lee shore
She loves her love and love is no more

Cara Dillon - The Emigrant's Farewell Lyrics

Farewell to old Ireland, the land of my childhood
Which now and forever I am going to leave
Farewell to the shores where the shamrock is growing
It's the bright spot of beauty and the home of the brave

More Cara Dillon - The Emigrant's Farewell Lyrics

Cara Dillon - Bonny Bonny Lyrics

Bonny, bonny was my seat in the red, rosy yard
And bonny was my ship in the town of Ballynagard
Shade and shelter was for me till I began to fail
You all may guess, my distress lies near the nightingale

More Cara Dillon - Bonny Bonny Lyrics

Cara Dillon - Green Grows The Laurel Lyrics

Green grows the laurel, soft falls the dew
Sorry was I love when parting from you
But at our next meeting, I hope you'll prove true
And we'll join the laurel and the violet so blue

More Cara Dillon - Green Grows The Laurel Lyrics

Cara Dillon - Broken Bridges Lyrics

I will not forget all the things I haven't said yet
And so I'll wait
Like water thrown on water, it's always hard to tell
Just where it ends

More Cara Dillon - Broken Bridges Lyrics

Cara Dillon - There Were Roses Lyrics

My song for you this evening
Is not to make you sad
Nor for adding to the sorrows
Of this troubled northern land

More Cara Dillon - There Were Roses Lyrics
