Lost sons of Erin tells the tale of those men who left Ireland and never returned

Lyrics to a song I wrote called "
Lost Sons Of Erin"
The song won the 2008 Billboard Song Contest and was arranged and performed by Robert and Wendy O'Hearn .


Lost sons of Erin
By Paul McCann

See the cold cruel sea how
she's taken from me ,
my sons no more do I see,
wild wind in their hair
or rain on their face ,
so long they've been gone
from this place .

How I wish they would come home
where they belong .
my lost sons of Erin how
long they’ve been gone ,
before the dusk and the dawn of the day.
Mostly misled on the way

We will come . We are coming .
They have taken us so far away .
So far away .


Cross the salty sea spray
and merciless tide
My sore eyes look on
how long will they hide
in the darkness so deep
no more do I see
my lost sons of Erin come home .

We will come .We are coming .
They have taken us so far away ..
So far away .
Lost sons of Erin come home .
Lost sons of Erin come home.
