The Mist Over the Claddagh

Now there's mist coming over the Claddagh
And the children are grumbling in vain
It's a typical day but they just want to play
'Cause it's far from they were reared

So I wake up from my daydream
And I turn to where you once faced
Oh, but me and my words that I'd thought of before now have drifted our separate ways

Was it love that drove me away?
'Cause that is not what I came here for
I did all that I shouldn't in the heat of the moment
Then you came looking for more

Now there's a storm brewing over the Claddagh
And my sweater is soaked to your bones
This wicked urge had outshone the yearning to be alone
We felt a drop and we just let it pour

And the stars drape over the Atlantic
As the swans gently bow down to sleep
But the glimmer of hope that once shone from your eye
Rolls down the horizon of your cheek

'Cause it was love that drove me away
And that is not what I came here for
I did all that I shouldn't in the heat of the moment then you came looking for more

Yeah, it was love that drove me insane
And that is not what I came here for
I did all that I shouldn't in the heat of the moment
Then you came looking for more
