Lyrics:

Verse 1

Westward wind carry me along

Across the ocean so blue

Westward wind I’ll put you in a song

I promise if you see us through

Verse 2.

Across dark water and the souls below

As the boat rocks to and fro

In my heart I feel an arrow blow

It’s the way things seem to go.

Chorus

‘cause I’m a lost soul of County Clare

It will always be in my prayers

But westward wind, I’m in your debt

I know you’ll take good care of us.

Verse 3

I feel the boat rise and feel it fall

But each day seems to go so fast

I hold good memories but all in all

I’m pleased those times have passed.

Verse 4

You can take the man out of County Clare

But you’ll never take the Clare out of man

I’ll always walk on the sand of Kilkee bay

That’s where my life began.

Verse 5

Westward wind carry me along

Across the ocean so blue

I feel in my soul I already belong

To the new land from head to shoes

Outro

From head down to my shoes X 5.
