Lyrics
STARS OF BALTIMORE (IRELAND)
MY HEART WAS DOWN MY SOUL ASIDE
AS I SWAM OUT AGAINST THE TIDE
I CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF YOU (alt) ( I caught a wave of bliss)
AND I TURNED BACK TO SHORE
BENEATH
THE STARS OF BALTIMORE
WHAT WOULD I GIVE FOR YOUR EMBRACE
A MORNING KISS YOUR BLUSHING FACE
TO WALK THESE HILLS
SING OF LOVE ONCE MORE
UNDER
THE STARS OF BALTIMORE
OH WON'T YOU WALK (THIS WAY) WITH ME
OPEN TO LOVE LIKE A ROSE
TWO RIVERS RUSHING TOWARDS THE SEA
GOING WITH THE FLOW
LETTING THIS WORLD GO
HOW CAN I TELL YOU WHY MY LOVE
IS WITHOUT END
LIKE HEAVEN ABOVE
WOULD YOU BELIEVE
HOW HIGH WE'LL SOAR
BEYOND
THE STARS OF BALTIMORE
BEYOND
THE STARS OF BALTIMORE
