    • Lyrics : If I Could Choose

    They envy me, my hills of Clare
    The white gulls calling in the soft sea air
    So much to lose
    And yet I'd leave the hills of Clare
    And live in a desert if I had you there
    What would I lose if I could choose

    If I could choose a place to walk with you
    I'd choose the longest road
    And it would lead us to a house that no one knew
    Bellows by the fire, and the turf smoke rising higher
    Than the lark that wings and always sings of you

    If I could choose a time to talk with you
    I'd choose the longest day
    And over all the hills of Clare, I'd shout the news
    I would tell them how a day could last forever
    And I'd never leave your side if I could choose

    If I could choose a time to talk with you
    I'd choose the longest day
    And over all the hills of Clare, I'd shout the news
    I would tell them how a day could last forever
    And I'd never leave your side if I could choose
