Verse 1

In the twilight of the evening

Follow the tail light trail

Like fairy lights in the boreens

On the drumlins of the lake

And fill the air with stories

From early until late

And fill your empty glasses

Where I lie in wait

Chorus

Carry me away

Carry me away

Carry me away

Verse 2

same)

And when the moment feels right

Take me to the shore

With your torches and your flashlights

Be careful in the boats

Turn north at rabbit island

And up past green fields bay

May the night be calm and gentle

And the moonlight light your way

Chorus

Verse 3

same)

And some where up near inchagoill

In the embers of the night

Switch of all the engines

At the birth of dawns first light

And someone sing a happy song

When everyone's arrived

And scatter me forever

Where I've felt most alive

Chorus

Verse 4

Where I'll hear the water lapping

Up against the island

See the may flies dapping

Hear the trout a-rising

And see the camp fire burning

And the oul' black kettle boiling

And hear a reel a-singing

Off towards the horizon

Chorus

Outro

repeat to fade

Carry Me Away
