Hands of a farmer

Hands of a farmer, and dreams of a child.
Your melody lingers, through a winter too wild.
The gulls rise and fly around here, and the cliffs look so grey.
Blackbird echoes, a tune you might play.

Boys oh boys, I'm glad to meet you.
In Doolin you would sing. 
Out over the limestone,
Those sweet words still ring.

People in Germany, they remember your name.
People at home still, see your face in the rain.

Hands of a farmer, and dreams of a child.
Your peace lingers, through a winter too wild.
