Rained down by wine, circled 'round by smoke Your rosy cheeks take on a glow You think I don't understand But I understand Sunny dreams born leap into the air Then fade into smoke You won't tell me where But I know where 'Cause in Ireland you say Oh, the air they breathe is clean So I pray, I pray, I pray For the rain Make me green People that you love, they could always leave They could leave the room Even when you're tugging at their sleeve But the trouble is They leave if you don't dare believe When I said I was leaving baby Had you already gone there? To in Ireland you say The air they breathe is clean So I pray, I pray, I pray For the rain Make me green Green enough to be your heaven Green enough to be your sea Greener than the rolling hills Could you ever see that in me? Rained down by wine, circled 'round by smoke All you talk about is where you would go When you look at me, Do you love this world yet? Or do you see how much better it could get? In Ireland you say The air they breathe is clean So I pray, I pray, I pray For the rain In Ireland you say The air they breathe is clean So I pray, I pray, I pray For the rain Make me green
