Dun Laoghaire (Pronounced Dun Leerie)
Can be such a lonely place
Seamus Moore
Keys D/E
She stands on the quay at Dun Laoghaire
The cold wind from the sea, Is blowing in her hair
In her mind she can hear her lover calling
From a land far away over there
She pulled her shawl around her shoulders
As the mist sprinkled lightly on her face
And when you've got no one to talk to
Dun Laoghaire can be such a lonely place
For it's many a mother stood on that quayside
And watched that ship sail out of sight
It's many a night she lay awaking
And thought about her loved ones in the night
Instumental
Change of Key to (E)
Sometimes you can hear the wind a-calling
The names of our loved ones far away
But we know it's just imagination
As we stand there alone on the quay
Many people left with the intentions
Of returning to our homeland again
But when they returned with a strangers face
Dun Laoghaire can be such a lonely place
Cause many a mother stood on that quayside
And watched that ship sail out of sight
And many a night she lay awaking
And thought about her loved ones in the night
It's many a night she lay awaking
And thought about her loved ones in the night
