When I saw you on the Red Rock stage with fire in your heart
I was so mesmerised & captivated with that flaming spark
The next day I sought out the words & music of your songs
In all the years that have since passed I’m not sure where I belong

Like Saul on the road to Damascus, I was blinded by the light
It made a difference to my soul & gave me back my sight
It gave me a direction to the land from where you came
It gave me a sparkle, I’ll never have to search for again

When I travelled to your place for the very first time
It seemed so very natural to call this land mine
The heads of varied colours, the jewels that they call eyes
The sounds of voices all around never made it a surprise

I’ve met the people of the West, that summer in the bay
The sound of guitars playing made you want to stay
I’ve drank the black and heard the craich and walked through Dublins streets
I always look into the hotel and hope that we can meet

You started me on a journey that will never come to rest
I’ve seen you so often in halls, stadiums and fests
Every time we get together is always new to me
Every time I hear your noise I shout out with glee
