I still recall that day in July
When you said to me your last goodbye;
And that same night you sailed away
To distant lands across the sea

In Connemara by the lake
Two young lovers hearts did break,
In County Galway by the sea
There I loved you and you loved me.

For seven long years I had to wait
And now you've come, alas, too late,
For I was told that you were dead
And yesterday at noon I was wed.

The western breezes whisper true,
They bring back memories of you,
Of summer days I cannot forget
In Connemara where we met.
