lyrics

Irish American Blessing

Raindrops are falling on my windowpane today.
The world outside is calling, but I think that it can wait.
I think that it can wait. I know that it can wait.

The sitting chair is empty, but a ghost of you remains.
Your photo hanging on the wall smiles at me again.
Smile at me again. Won’t you smile at me again?

I know the road you’ve taken is right for you, my friend.
I trust that it will bring you home to me in the end.
May the road rise to meet you. May the wind blow at your back.
‘Til we meet again, God hold you in the palm of his hand.

I am still here staring at the space you left behind.
While you’re out wayfaring, do you hear me in your mind?
Do you see me in your mind? Do you feel me in your mind?

Rain has washed my windows. I can see the world outside.
I miss you, but it’s time to go and live my own life,
live my own life, love my own life.

I know the road you’ve taken is right for you, my friend.
I trust that it will bring you home to me in the end.
May the road rise to meet you. May the wind blow at your back.
‘Til we meet again, God hold you in the palm of his hand.

May the road rise to meet you. May the wind blow at your back.
‘Til we meet again, God hold you in the palm of his hand.
May the sun shine warm upon you.
May the joys be pure that surround you.
May all your dreams come true.
May your wishes bring you home soon.
