KING OF IRELAND (burke) If i was king of ireland and you were queen with me, weŽd have ourselves a little cottage,down by the raging sea, in the peace and quiet there weŽd live and love and lay, the troubles of the real,real world,so far,so far away. (chorus) But iŽm here and this is not my homeland, and iŽm here happy with you, but iŽm here and this is not my own land, though iŽm happy here with you. If i was king of ireland and you were queen with me, where the mountains meet the ocean,weŽd share tranquility, on the winds a taste of old things we left so far behind, thereŽs nothing weŽd be missing,beside the winds so wild outside. (chorus) if i was king of ireland and you were queen with me, weŽd have a hearth within a house down by that rolling sea, weŽd watch the dark descending at the end of a perfect day, say goodnight to mourning,in the world so far away. (chorus)
