G C G C Dm C F
[Verse 1]
G
How can the small flowers grow
Em C F
If the wild winds blow
Gm C
And the cold snow is all around?
G
Where will the frail birds fly
Em F
If their homes on high
Gm G C
Have been torn down to the ground?
[Chorus]
F C
Lift the wings and carry me away from here and
F G
Fill the sail that breaks the line to home
Am Em F C Dm C G
But when I'm miles and miles apart from you
F C F C Dm7
I'm beside you, when I think of you, a Stóirín, a Ghrà
[Verse 2]
G
How can a tree stand tall
Em C F
If a rain won't fall
Gm C
To wash its branches down?
G
And how can the heart survive
Em F
Can it stay alive
Gm G C
If its love's denied for long?
[Chorus]
F C
Lift the wings and carry me away from here and
F G
Fill the sail that breaks the line to home
Am Em F C Dm C G
But when I'm miles and miles apart from you
F C F C Dm7
I'm beside you, when I think of you, a Stóirín, a Ghrà
C F
And I'm with you as I dream of you, a Stóirín
C F C
And this song will bring you near to me, a Stóirín, a Grá
