Lyrics

1.
Na Laethe Bhí
Do chomhrá 's do chairdeas
Bo mhian liom i gconaí­
's óró grá mo chroí­
Scéalta is amhráin
Go haosta le sléibhte
Cruaidh 's cróga le haois

Slán le na laethe a bhí­ seal go haerach
Slán le na laethe bhí­
Slán leis an oí­che
A casadh orainn dó'n chéad uair
Slán le na laethe bhí­

Ag amharc ar an fharraige
's an ghrian ar a'tsáile
's óró grá mo chroí­
Scéalta fá Bhalar
'sna trí­ Mic Ua gCorra
Oileáin seanda mar fhí­s

Bí­ liom a stórí­n
Samhradh go Geimhreadh
Rún mó mhí­le stór

Banba Óir
Idir dhá láimh daoine fí­untach
Scrí­obh an ogham i mBanba óir
I nglas héinne fial ó nádúir
Fonn ceoil i mBanba óir

Lios na aileach draí­ocht draiotheach
Tuambaí­ rí­the i mBanba óir
Clochán naofa cill is caisléain
Cruit na gceilteach i mBanba óir

Idir dhá láimh i mBanba óir
Fonn ceoil i mBanba óir
Scrí­obh an agham i mBanba óir
I mBanba óir

There for You
Everything is foolhardy
And never is so good
Who will need an explanation
If all is understood

This time has come again
It's all shining through
This one will be forever
And I'll be there for you

It was just midnight
Feeling was so high
Dancing on a crest of a wave
Your eyes met mine
Leaving those cares behind us
Dancing in the mood

A certain combination
Near impossible to find
Rolling on stormy weather
Such a fine line
Striving to a seventh heaven
Knowing that we could
4.
Mystery Game
It's not for the money
The hopes and despair
It's not for the leaving
Of love that was there
If it's for the danger
A fortune beware
Leaving it all back
To somewhere the same
Those mystery games

The mystery game
The mystery game

Just like the parting A rendezvous glass
A lust for a passion
Long may it last
Seasons have numbed us
From a chalk to a stone
Leading us onwards
To miss or be made
Those mystery games

The mystery game
The mystery game

Telling odd stories
From a distant past
Most are remembered
The good and the bad
Like an old winding river
In a curious plot
Leading it all back
To somewhere the same
That mystery game
5.
Struggle
Travelling down a dirty road
Covered with moss
And see the grey stones
Green as luscious fields in sight
A dark moonlight night
When the past flashes by
Coming down from heaven like a falling star
That you wish upon

Isn't it a struggle
To find a good friend?
Isn't it a struggle
To have to defend?
Isn't it a struggle
You have to take that chance to lend a hand

Well I'm travelling down a dirty road
Clearing up all that's known

A misty occurrence happens all the time
Around every corner a brighter day lies
Loads of mercy, beauty beholds
An eye for a partner as good, as good as gold
Green as luscious fields in sight
A dark moonlight night
When the past flashes by
Coming down from heaven like a falling star
That you wish upon

Isn't it a struggle
To find a good friend?
Isn't it a struggle
To have to defend?
Isn't it a struggle
You have to take that chance to lend a hand

Isn't it a struggle
To find a good friend?
Isn't it a struggle
To have to defend?

I Will Find You (Theme from "The Last of the Mohicans")
Hope is your survival
A captive path I lead

No matter where you go
I will find you
If it takes a long long time
No matter where you go
I will find you
If it takes a thousand years

(Mohican)
Nachgochema
Anetáha
Anachemowágan

No matter where you go
I will find you
In a place with no frontiers
No matter where you go
I will find you
If it takes a thousand years

(Cherokee)
Ha le wu yv ga ya i sv
Ha lo wu yv ha le wu yv
Do na dlo sv i
Wi ja lo sv ga ya I sv
Do na dlo sv i
Ha le wu yv
Do na dlo sv...

No matter where you go
I will find you
If it takes a long long time
No matter where you go
I will find you
If it takes a thousand years

No matter where you go
I will find you
In a place with no frontiers
No matter where you go
I will find you
If it takes a thousand years

No matter where you go
I will find you

Soul Searcher
I can quote a lot of lines
That's pertinent to you and me
Life and all it's many choices
Are so funny and so mean
Deep thoughts in one's convictions
Can be someones discontent
Just what it seems isn't
If must needs the devil drives

Soul searcher what are you looking for?
Soul giver what will you settle for?

Back to the very beginning
Back to the future I don't mind
As long as philosophical people
Keep their minds alive
Could we use the back pages
Of a bible of ages
If you could write it now
Well if needs must the devil drives

Soul searcher what are you looking for?
Soul giver what will you settle for?

Soul searcher what are you looking for?
Soul giver what will you settle for?

Alone searcher is owed a lot of love?
Soul searcher what will you settle for?

Caide Sin Do'n Te Sin
Chuaigh mé chun aonaigh is dhí­ol mé mo bhó
Ar chúig phunta airgid is ar ghiní­ bhuí­ óir
Má ólaim an t-airgead is má bhronnaim an t-ór
Ó caidé sin do'n té sin nach mbaineann sin dó
Má ólaim an t-airgead is má bhronnaim an t-ór
Ó caidé sin do'n té sin nach mbaineann sin dó

Má théim na choille chraobhaigh cruinniú sméare nó cnó
A bhaint úllaí­ de ghéaga nó a bhuachailleacht bó
Má shí­ní­m seal uaire faoi chrann a déanamh só
Ó caidé sin do'n té sin nach mbaineann sin dó
Má shí­ní­m seal uaire faoi chrann a déanamh só
Ó caidé sin do'n té sin nach mbaineann sin dó

Má théimse chuig airnéal is rince is spórt
Chuig aonach is rásaí­ 's gach cruinniú den tsórt
Má chí­m daoine súgach is má bhí­m súgach leo
Ó caidé sin do'n té sin nach mbaineann sin dó
Má chí­m daoine súgach is má bhí­m súgach leo
Ó caidé sin do'n té sin nach mbaineann sin dó

Deir daoine go bhfuil mé gan rath 's gan dóigh
Gan carra gan éadach gan bólacht ná stór
Má tá mise sásta mo chónaí­ i gcró
Ó caidé sin do'n té sin nach mbaineann sin dó
Má tá mise sásta mo chónaí­ i gcró
Ó caidé sin do'n té sin nach mbaineann sin dó

The Other Side
When it's gone and you want it so badly
The game of love is a two way street
And from above there comes inspiration
Darkest clouds will disappear

Take it down put it in your diary
Come around to the pleasant side
Put it down to another experience
Come around to the other side

Fallen words from a broken framework
Touching hearts scribbled on a sheet
And from above here comes inspiration!
Darkest clouds will disappear

When it hurts and the pain still lingers
That game of love now a one way street
Faith and hope is your only connection
As darkest hours may disappear
10.
Sunset Dreams
Covered in darkness a time that is past
Waiting adrift they cannot hold back
Cannot hold back
Tear misted eyes standing alone
A broken will over all that they've known

Out in the distance far is the calling
Shadows still steal
Through the place that they knew
A vision that's empty is what they see
The eyes of tomorrow
On sunset dreams

Sorrow deepens only to tell
That silence speaks where words cannot mend
Words cannot mend
A vision that's empty is what they see
The eyes of tomorrow
Look to sunset dreams

Covered in darkness a time that is past
Waiting adrift they cannot hold back
Cannot hold back
Tear misted eyes standing alone
A broken will over all that they've known
