Fireflies on the Stone Quay

[Intro]
[Verse]
Grandfather turned the light
Into the coastal night
I ran down to the pier
To find the music near
The tavern doors swung wide
With warmth and light inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Old sailors drank their ale
They swore they saw a tail
A mermaid in the bay
That stole their gold away
[Chorus]
We chased the fireflies
Under the starry skies
Along the dusty quay
Where we were wild and free
The accordion would play
To send us on our way
[Post-Chorus]
Sing diddle idle day
We dance the night away
Sing diddle idle dee
Beside the Irish sea
[Break]
[Verse]
They talked of hidden gold
In stories grand and bold
A chest inside the cave
Beneath the crashing wave
I laughed and raised my glass
To watch the hours pass
[Pre-Chorus]
Old sailors drank their ale
They swore they saw a tail
A mermaid in the bay
That stole their gold away
[Chorus]
We chased the fireflies
Under the starry skies
Along the dusty quay
Where we were wild and free
The accordion would play
To send us on our way
[Bridge]
The years have flown so fast
Those summer days are past
But in my cozy sleep
Those memories I keep
[Verse]
The lighthouse still shines bright
Through every foggy night
I hear the cittern ring
And hear the old men sing
The laughter fills my ears
Across the fading years
[Chorus]
We chased the fireflies
Under the starry skies
Along the dusty quay
Where we were wild and free
The accordion would play
To send us on our way
[Post-Chorus]
Sing diddle idle day
We dance the night away
Sing diddle idle dee
Beside the Irish sea
[Outro]
