Where glows the Irish heart
There lives a subtle spell
The faint blue smoke, the gentle heat
Of simple talk and tea
White road winding to the edge
Of bare, untamed land
Where dry stone wall or ragged hedge
Run wide on either hand
Where glows the Irish heart
There lives a subtle spell
The faint blue smoke, the gentle heat
Of simple talk and tea
The cottage lights that lure you in
From rainy western skies
And by the friendly glow within
Of simple talk and tea
And tales of magic, love or arms
From days when princes met
To listen, to lay that charm
Upon your hearts and heads
Where glows the Irish heart
There lives a subtle spell
The faint blue smoke, the gentle heat
Of simple talk and tea
There honor shines through passion and desire
There beauty blends with laughter
Wild hearts never did aspire never did tire
Of simple talk and tea
Where glows the Irish heart
There lives a subtle spell
The faint blue smoke, the gentle heat
Of simple talk and tea
