[Verse One] I fell in love with a man Who came from Arizona He said he could never leave once he saw the greens of Cornamona His heart was full and he found a love from which he could not part But for me, Miss Ireland It was a love I could not start [Chorus] Hey, Hey he's on his way to a land he truly loves Hey, Hey he's on his way to blessings from above Hey, Hey he cannot stay for his life is somewhere else Hey, Hey it breaks my heart to put his love upon my shelf [Verse 2] He came to me and left again each and every year Upon his flight he could not hide the drops of all his tears He promised me his love was true and some time he would be back to stay I relish in those words of his to light my darkest days [Chorus] Hey, Hey he's on his way to a land he truly loves Hey, Hey he's on his way to blessings from above Hey, Hey he cannot stay for his life is somewhere else Hey, Hey it breaks my heart to put his love upon my shelf [Verse 3] He loved my shores and my mountain tops and my fields of many greens He said I was the loveliest a man has ever seen He would sit and talk to me for hours in my fields of green Now there came one day his children came to give a gift to me They brought him in a cedar box his ashes they wish to spread it broke my heart but I accepted him from Dublin to the cliffs of Moher He kept his promise and now he lives here forever more Hey, Hey he's here to stay in a land he truly loves Hey, Hey he's here to stay my blessing from above Hey, Hey he no longer has a life that's somewhere else Hey, Hey my heart is full knowing he's here not somewhere else
