A blackbird sings in Basin Street
As evening kisses the day
The lamp outside is the setting sun
Its light steals the night away
All around this little house
That means so much to me
Whispers of a misty evening
Romances each gentle tree
The canal is in its silence
As swans embrace
Waterhens make circles
Our love in Naas
So let us celebrate each moment
As the stars multiply the sky
And evening melts into timelessness
There is no such word as why
Now I murmur sweet nothingness
As snowdrops lay in flower
For all I have I give to you
From now with every hour
