Please settle my weary Irish eyes
To a place where they can avoid demise
They only ever see reflections of you
In the mirror, the water and the morning dew

Settle me down in the land I know
Settle me down where the trees doth grow
Settle me down where I have no fear
Settle me down with you here

Many’s the day, I’ve traveled far away
Many a’man has tried to make me stay
To all of them I said but nay
Then I simply quoted your name

Settle me down in the land I know
Settle me down where the trees doth grow
Settle me down where I have no fear
Settle me down with you here

Please settle my weary Irish eyes
To a place where they can avoid demise
They only ever see reflections of you
In the mirror, the water and the morning dew

I set out looking for better roads
But this separation was never foretold
It’s been three years and I’ve seen you but twice
And I have to wonder if you’re still mine

I’ve been here and there with but one care
That someday I could feed this hungry stare
And on that day I could take your hand
And settle down with you on this land

Settle me down in the land I know
Settle me down where the trees doth grow
Settle me down where I have no fear
Settle me down with you here

Please settle my weary Irish eyes
To a place where they can avoid demise
They only ever see reflections of you
In the mirror, the water and the morning dew

Blessed were the days I roamed
For on that day I returned back home
I saw you standing over there
And you said to me with your hungry stare

Settle me down in the land I know
Settle me down where the trees doth grow
Settle me down where I have no fear
Settle me down with you here

Please settle my weary Irish eyes
To a place where they can avoid demise
They only ever see reflections of you
In the mirror, the water and the morning dew
