Doolin (at Flanagan's)

Once I was walking down Doolin
on the shores of the sea
at the end of the world

Where should I find a room ?
Find a place by the fire -
bring me through the night

I can tell you, may you hear:
At Flanagan's , at Flanagan's !
Best place under the sky,
a home fpr travellers on the isle !

Strangers like friends 'round the stove,
singing, talking and listening
to the fairytales:

Stories about Mairé Rua,
the "Red Lady" out there,
waiting on the hills...


(...dedicated to Mr. Flanagan, best hostel-warden
at Doolin, Co. Claire, Ireland)
