We fire up the boiler (?), I'll be dreaming for days
On the smoke from Bally Sanna through that shimmering 
haze.
And we mend our way down the road to the sea
Looking west from Port Arran upon Ellan Vannin.

You in the sunlight on the Castletown Hill
Like she's waiting for angels to come down and help.
I said help put a frame around this firmament scene
Looking west from Port Arran upon Ellan Vannin.

Chorus: 
I said I'd go there a while, go there a while
I must travel in dreams.
One moment to stand, one moment to stand 
There on Ellan Vannin,
With the prettiest lady, the prettiest lady
That I, that I, that I've ever seen.
Looking west from Port Arran upon Ellan Vannin.

Well I can see us right now, my love, far ahead of our 
time
You quilting blankets and me I'm making rhyme, making 
rhyme, making rhyme.
Oh we ran with our blankets at where we always, always 
have been,
Looking west from Port Arran upon Ellan Vannin.

Chorus
