Lyrics for Streets of Arklow

And as we walked Through the streets of Arklow Oh the color Of the day wore on And our heads Were filled with poetry And the morning A-comin' on to dawn And as we walked Through the streets of Arklow And gay perfusion In God's green land And the gypsy's rode With their hearts on fire They say "we love to wander" "Lord, we love" "Lord, we love to roam..." And as we walked Through the streets of Arklow In a drenching beauty Rolling back 'til the day And I saw your eyes They was shining, sparkling crystal clear And our souls were clean And the grass did grow And our souls were clean And the grass did grow And our souls were clean And the grass did grow And as we walked Through the streets of Arklow
