I can still see your lovely lips
As the words flowed out of them
A lovely lilt you had
You were flirtatious
And I wanted you to be
I felt your hand in my hand
As I drank my pint too fast
And another
And another
All that Irish alcohol
Gone straight to my head
And how you leaned in
To speak
Over the sound of the musicians
Playing in the corner
And your breath against my neck
You took the piss
And I liked it
I gave it right back
You took good care of us
Thanks for the welcome to Ireland,
Love.
