Waterboys Spring Comes To Spiddal
Well the lights are on in Standun's and the spell has been broken
The roadside teahouse door is wide open
A sign on the wall says, "American also spoken"
As spring comes to Spiddal
The village girls go walking by without their coats
The Irish Gaelic college is alive again with folk
Farmers gather talking freed from Winter's yoke
As spring comes to Spiddal
A tourist with a telescope and a funny looking German bloke
And a billy goat all invoke the summer soon to bloom
On a soft and fresh Atlantic air a mist of pollen floats
On Galway Bay I spy a gaily painted fishing boat
There's a rustle around the boreens and a song on every throat
As spring comes to Spiddal
