Irish Angel Lyrics - Old School - Nils Lofgren

In the fall of the year she flew across the ocean 

To Ireland the land of her fathers 

When we said goodbye a tear was in her eye 

I lost her then and there my Irish angel 

The first letter came she said she loved it there 

And how much she wished I was there with her 

She wrote it on a hill in a gentle Irish rain 

I saw her in my mind my Irish angel 

I wrote her back, but then there was no second letter 

Just the silence of the snow that fell around me 

I let her down I know, the day I let her go 

Now she's found someone else, my Irish angel 

First time I saw her, my heart went in a spin 

When they speak of love they call it falling 

It was like I held my breath, 'till I laid eyes on her again 

So beautiful she was my Irish angel 

And when a stolen glance led to a stolen kiss 

I thought I knew the chance that I was taking 

But oh I never knew a love as strong as this 

Or what it was to feel my own heart breaking 

So now I raise a glass and then I raise another 

One to forget, one to remember 

And one just to dream of how things could have been 

If I hadn't lost my Irish angel 

One just to dream of how things could have been 

If I hadn't lost my Irish angel
