Where glows the Irish heart  There lives a subtle spell  The faint blue smoke, the gentle heat  Of simple talk and tea       White road winding to the edge  Of bare, untamed land  Where dry stone wall or ragged hedge  Run wide on either hand       Where glows the Irish heart  There lives a subtle spell  The faint blue smoke, the gentle heat  Of simple talk and tea       The cottage lights that lure you in  From rainy western skies  And by the friendly glow within  Of simple talk and tea       And tales of magic, love or arms  From days when princes met  To listen, to lay that charm  Upon your hearts and heads       Where glows the Irish heart  There lives a subtle spell  The faint blue smoke, the gentle heat  Of simple talk and tea       There honor shines through passion and desire  There beauty blends with laughter  Wild hearts never did aspire never did tire  Of simple talk and tea       Where glows the Irish heart  There lives a subtle spell  The faint blue smoke, the gentle heat  Of simple talk and tea
