Swimming The Horses

[Chorus]
They're swimming the horses down at the pier
They’re going to race them again this year
You hear them blowing
Throwing their heads up
Over the waves

[Verse 1]
Didn't we roam far when the weather was fine
Laugh and drink the red red wine
Like all the other drunken lovers climbing their ivy vines
To the moon

[Verse 2]
The winds out west will come back to haunt me
Back here in this reverie
A strayaway cry is heard
It echoes like the night bird
Out over Dooneen

[Chorus]
They're swimming the horses down at the pier
They’re going to race them again this year
You hear them blowing
Throwing their heads up
Over the waves
