"'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky than at Suvla or Sud-El-Bar."
Foggy Dew by Canon Charles O’Neill (1887-1963)

On the shores of . . .
(A series of posts leading up to/including The Nocturnes Photo Tour in the West of Ireland, July 15-25, 2013; with a personal Genealogical Research Extension, in and around Ballina, July 25-29)
Some of the locations used for the "In a Lifetime" video look like they could have been on the shores of Doo Lough (see below) - but in fact, the video was shot in Clannad's hometown of Gweedore, County Donegal, Ireland.
Can't find translation of Irish lyrics at beginning of song - think I might have seen them somewhere - but it's been a while (1985).
