Brendan Sings :

The weekend has come and the working week's over
Like the fox and the hare in the field, I am free
Tonight I will lie in the arms of my lover
No one else in the whole world, as happy as me

Oh we walked hand in hand on a bright summer's evening
To the place where we knew we could lie down unseen
And I kissed and caressed her as the light it was fading
Where the buttercups grow on the banks of the Lyreen

Above the clear waters the mayflies were dancing
While a dragonfly flitted from flower to tree
The song of the blackbird his mate was enchanting
But the smile of my true love was all I could see

What joy to be sharing such a wonderful evening
As together we lie in the warm summer air
To watch as above us the stars start their shining
But those stars can't compete with her bright eyes so fair

Then it's back through the meadows we slowly meander
By hedgerows that berries and the mayflower adorn
We share one more kiss, that we both will remember
'Til next to the banks of Lyreen we return
