In the fall of the year
She flew across the ocean
To Ireland, the land of her fathers
When we said goodbye,
A tear was in her eye
I lost her then and there
My Irish angel
The first letter came
She said she loved it there
And how much she wished
I was there with her
She wrote it on a hill
In the gentle Irish rain
I saw her in my mind
My Irish angel
I wrote her back and then
There was no second letter
Just the silence of the snow
