Carry Me Away Lyrics - Singles - Saw Doctors

This song was inspired by Ray Buckly , who loved to fish Lough Corrib. His final wish was fulfilled when his ashes were scattered over the waters of the lake. 

In the twilight of the evening 

Follow the tail light trail 

Like fairy lights in the boreens 

On the drumlins of the lake 

And fill the air with stories 

From early until late 

And fill your empty glasses 

Where I lie in wait 

Carry me away 

And when the moment feels right 

Take me to the shore 

With your torches and your flashlights 

Be careful in the boats 

Turn north at rabbit island 

And up past green fields bay 

May the night be calm and gentle 

And the moonlight light your way 

Carry me away 

And some where up near inchagoill 

In the embers of the night 

Switch of all the engines 

At the birth of dawns first light 

And someone sing a happy song 

When everyone's arrived 

And scatter me forever 

Where I've felt most alive 

Carry me away 

Where I'll hear the water lapping 

Up against the island 

See the may flies dapping 

Hear the trout a-rising 

And see the camp fire burning 

And the oul' black kettle boiling 

And hear a reel a-singing 

Off towards the horizon 

Carry me away
