[Verse 1]

Through dark summer nights on his racing bike

Your great grandad Miko Killeen

When art classes were done in Galway town

Cycled home the miles between

And the moon overhead

Led him home as he sped

'Til the stars over Kinvara
E F#
Said Welcome home

Long before I ran to be your aul man

I dreamed of living here

Where Atlantic waves neath Dunguaire's gaze

Keep the air so fresh and clear

My children's eyes

That first night I drove you and mammy home

I pulled over in Ballindereen

I just had to pull in I had never seen
E
Such a sky of gems that gleamed
B F# G#m7 E
Orion was out, and the starry plough
B F#
All the night was on display
G#m E
Over The Burren, the road, and the bay
B F#
There were ten more lights that shone
G#m E
For each one of our own passed on
B F#
And I dreamed that Miko too

Was shining down on you
G#m F#m E
When the stars over Kinvara said Welcome home
G#m F#m E B
When the stars over Kinvara said Welcome home!
