Give me a reason
Why I’m drawn to her
Why am I cheating
With an old lover
Trouble in my blood
Tears on my tongue
Every word said betrays where I’m from
Heather on the mountains
Drizzle in my hair
Everywhere I go she’s in my head
Chorus
Erin Calling will I answer
Erin Calling I want to run to her
Across the water
What sort of treason
Divides a country
Each marching season
We fight ourselves for history
The enemy is ourselves
No one can win
What can Erin tell all of her children
Thrown around the world
Though violence and fear
Will they understand
Will they hear
Chorus
When I was still a boy
I left her broken soil
Now she haunts me and prays upon my soul
Will my children breathe her air
And somehow feel at home
Will their hearts be a prisoner to her stone walls
Chorus
She is across the water
