Days Of Yore Lyrics - So Far So Good: Best Of The Irish Descendants - The Irish Descendants

I wandered in time, till I found myself thinking 

Of young children playing at the dawning of spring 

They sang merry songs, like the wind in the willows 

Twas then that I found myself back home again 

The days that we spent in the boat with our father 

Too young for to help at a very young age 

Watching with care as they worked on the water 

Those memories still linger of warm summer days 

It was off in the evening with friends in the harbour 

I'd join in the game to pass time away 

Like angels in heaven, you'd hear sounds of laughter 

Tonight crept upon us, to bed one more day 

Then on sunday morning, we'd walk to the chapel 

To count up our blessings for all we received 

And give thanks to the lord for good health and well being 

In return for our fortunes and what we believe 

And when we'd return, we'd join in a session 

And enjoy all the tunes and the songs that we share 

Then our mothers would call us to move to the kitchen 

To eat at the table that she had prepared 

The scenes of my childhood, I'll always remember 

Those memories still linger and fill me with joy 

Those days are long gone, but they'll 'er be forgotten 

By friends and companions of days long gone by
