Song Description

A folk song about a beautiful rural part of Northern Ireland, where I often go to refresh my soul

Lyrics

Peaceful Lakes of Erne

To tell you the honest truth it has been one of those days
Everything?s been going wrong, in so many, many ways
But when I need someone to hold me, to its outstretched arms I turn
The town of Enniskillen and the peaceful Lakes of Erne

I?ve travelled around the world and each place tells its tale
Each city, each river, each mountain, hill and dale
But there?s one place in the world for which my heart will always yearn
The town of Enniskillen and the peaceful Lakes of Erne

Its memory lives inside my heart, I can?t help but miss it all
So although I might be for away, when I hear the call
I pack all my possessions and spend every cent I earn
To reach the town of Enniskillen and the peaceful Lakes of Erne

Bridge:
I was never good at lessons, instead I?d often go
And walk down by the water?s edge and watch the rushes grow
I let nature be my teacher, there are so many things to learn
In the town of Enniskillen and the peaceful Lakes of Erne

Well I don?t know how to thank you, these have been very happy days
You?ve given life to a weary soul in so many special ways
And although I have to go away I promise I?ll return
To the town of Enniskillen and the peaceful Lakes of Erne
