Time Is Like a Promise - Tír na nÓg

If rain will fall high up here upon the mountain

Grass will grow and shepherds will be thankful

And our love will cover up all the mountain

For time is like a promise —

It tries all your strength to keep to

Before she came I lived alone upon the mountain

The raven heard your voice high upon the wind

Then one day you came to me upon the mountain

For time is like a promise —

It tries all your strength to keep to

The sun goes down and shadows soon are interweaving

But she lies so deep inside my love surrounds her

Time will outdo us, this I only know too well

For time is like a promise —

It tries all your strength to keep to
