There stands an Irish hilltop
Across the sea so wide
A promise to be spoken there
Of husband and of bride

Their love was as an echo
A reflection of one soul
Spirits drifting as a cloud
Two hearts with no control

Then one day she beckoned him
She listened for his sound
Teardrops as a shower now
Fall down upon the ground

Will thou answer, love of mine?
My heart has sent it's call
She waited and she listened
But she heard him not at all

Who will find the promise now?
Upon that mountain high
A lass that calls her lover
And he that will reply

 


To give the Claddagh
is to forge forever
 the bonds of
love, friendship, and loyalty.

Dry your eyes my love so fair
I know your every word
Thy voice is like a summer lark
No sweeter song I've heard


You didn't hear me love of mine
And lest perceived untrue
Because my spirit answered
Before your call was through


Know that when you beckon me
That I'm already there
You did not hear my sound because
It's just one voice we share

Give me now thy finger lass
I promise this to you
My friendship, and my loyalty
And love forever true

There stands an Irish hilltop
Across the sea so wide
An echo of a promise there
Of husband and his bride
