about

written by Jono & George, mostly in Tellaro, Italy!

lyrics

for the very first time on a grey summers day
I came to these shores not planning to stay
through drizzle and mist I found my way
and each darling detail stole my heart away

I wandered and marvelled at beauty so rare
from the shape of the hills to the toss of her hair
and just when it all seemed beyond compare
the sun came out over Ireland

so I’ll write it and sing it lest I forget
the ancient stone walls along fields soft and wet
for there are no words for the feeling I get
when the sun comes out over Ireland

from Belfast City down to Skibereen
rolling across this patchwork of green
the most heavenly sight that I’ve ever seen
is the sun coming out over Ireland

and in this brave new century
might no longer makes right and all people are free
that’s the way we pray it will be
when the sun comes out over Ireland

so I’ll write it and sing it and if you’ll join in
we’ll carry it with us through thick and through thin
this song of hope that comes from within
when the sun comes out over Ireland
