Lay down the stars, my bonnie lass
Lay down my heart, we'll make it last
The senses aspire to the sparkling of time
As the rivers flow, your heart will be mine

She changed my soul, with her angle eyes
She gave her love, to set me free
Like the waves of the ocean, that come to the shore
She belongs by me forever more

On the first of may, all spring will arise
As the gardens of Ireland, will be coming alive
Tis the first day of wonder, and the first day of light
I'm so glad we've arrived, in a freedom so bright

So lay down in the heavens, my bonnie lass
Lay down in my arms, we'll make it last
In the parting of always, we made our love stand
Tis the first day of a future, in this new land

She changed my soul, with her angle eyes
She gave her love, to set me free
Like the waves of the ocean, that come to the shore
She belongs by me forever more

We'll change your wisdom, through your angle eyes
We'll sew the seeds, for our childrens lives
For at last the aching, has gone far away
To bring the future of Ireland, to this new day
