My Heart's Tonight In Ireland (In The Sweet County Clare)

Andy Irvine, Donal Lunny & Co
My Heart's Tonight In Ireland
(Andy Irvine)
In the town of Scariff the sun was shining in the sky
When Willie Clancy played his pipes and the tears welled in my eyes
Many years have passed and gone since the times we had there
But my heart's tonight in Ireland in the sweet County Clare
My heart tonight is far away across the rolling sea
In the sweet Milltown Malbay it is there I'd love to be
So long ago and far away but nothing can compare
My heart's tonight in Ireland in the sweet County Clare
That August in Kilrush when the rain was lashing down
And our hotel was that haybarn on the outskirts of town
We were all sick and feverish and Dolan had the flu
But Johnny produced some whiskey and the sun came shining through
My heart tonight is far away across the rolling sea
In the sweet Milltown Malbay it is there I'd love to be
So long ago and far away but nothing can compare
My heart's tonight in Ireland in the sweet County Clare
Those nights in Six Mile Bridge when the songs and music flowed
And it came to closing time sure the lights were turned down low
And the sergeant from Kilkishin he would buy us all one more
And we never left that pub before the clock was striking four
My heart tonight is far away across the rolling sea
In the sweet Milltown Malbay it is there I'd love to be
So long ago and far away but nothing can compare
My heart's tonight in Ireland in the sweet County Clare
Lahinch and Enistymon, Lisceanar and Kilkee
But best of all was Milltown when the music flowed so free
Willie Clancy in the County Clare I'm ever in your debt
For the sights and sounds of yesterday are shining memories yet
My heart tonight is far away across the rolling sea
In the sweet Milltown Malbay it is there I'd love to be
So long ago and far away but nothing can compare
My heart's tonight in Ireland in the sweet County Clare

Heard this first sung by Andy Irvine on an album from the late '90's called "Common Ground " and it has remained one of my favorites. It is a true pleasure to see it being performed by some of my very favorite Celtic artists-Thank you !!!
