I am going to the country
Going down that verdant lane
With nothing but a whistle in my hand
And a pocket full of rain
Can you hear that distant sound
Coming down the West Clare railway
Running with the shades of Gloria
The wind is full of memories

That murmur and sigh
Below the cold moon's eye
Hills lie in the foaming grass of Clare
But you should come and see them now
When they are on fire
And running with the shades of Gloria

And the waves roll at the headland
When the tide is rising there
Down on the hills of Clare

I knew them when I was hungry
And here there is starlight falling
And I knew when I was scared
And running with the shades of Gloria

And I am going to the country
Where Miko in his prime
Weaves a thread of melody
In his own sweet time
Anytime you care
To go running with the shades of Gloria
You can hear him sing and whistle

Going down that verdant lane
I am going to the country
With nothing but a whistle in my hand
And a pocket full of rain
Coming down the West Clare railway
Can you hear that distant sound
Running with the shades of Gloria
Gloria
