about

This song is modern-day appropriation of an Irish folk song. The song narrates a group of Americans falling in love with the Emerald Shore.

lyrics

Longing for a place I've never been before.
We came here searching for something more.
It's not about answers, whatever they may be.
It's the discovery of new questions that we seek.

The wind in my face and the skies of gray
In the land where my spirit soars.
So let's all raise a glass to our loved ones passed
And leave our hearts on the Emerald Shore.

Parting ways for now, back to our own lives.
Embraces, tears, and memories of these cathartic times.
We threw our cares to the breeze, 4000 miles away.
Longing for a place to fly again some day.

The wind in my face and the skies of gray
In the land where my spirit soars.
So let's all raise a glass to our loved ones passed
And leave our hearts on the Emerald Shore.

One day I'll return with my truest of loves
and take back my heart from the shore.
We'll summit the cliffs and I give it to her
Together with hers evermore.

The wind in my face and the skies of gray
In the land where my spirit soars.
So let's all raise a glass to our loved ones passed
And leave our hearts on the Emerald Shore.
