THE
TIDE FULL IN
(Francis Fahy)
Oh, 'tis sad in Dooris when the tide is low
And the green fields buried 'neath the frost and snow
And the dark night's dreary with the curlew's cry
And I'm thinkin', thinkin' of the days gone by
Chorus:
Oh the happy summers of the olden days
And the brown boats stealin' through the golden haze
And the cuckoo callin' from the woods within
And my love beside me and the tide full in
Was I not foolish when I let him go?
To seek his fortune where the west winds blow
If a fair wind brought him to my achin' heart
With my two arms 'round him, we would never part
Chorus
But, a dear, dear letter on my fond heart lies
And its words of promise more than life I prize
For it whispers, 'Darlin', soon I'll fortune win
And return to claim you and the tide full in'
Final chorus:
Oh the happy summers will come back once more
And the brown boats stealin' to the sunset shore
And the cuckoo callin' from the woods within
And my love beside me and the tide full in
Instrumental outro
And my love beside me and the tide full in
