In Search of a Heart
|
|
This heart of mine won't keep Or believe in the secret, like the moss on a stone This heart of mine won't beat It just carries itself away These parting times won't break me Deserted times stop running Ar do chul This form of love won't share Or give in to a feeling with nothing to gain No compromise in time You're so near and yet so far These parting times won't break me Deserted times stop running Ar do chul And when i turn in silence found What i say won't let you down And when your call, outside my door Ends the searching... |

Second Nature
|
|
To a son it is given Some dusty strings from the wall Fingers touch and he plays a tune It's a mighty air You know the heart is there It hides from the outside And it shines from within A ready pen for a picture Fine scribes lead the way Focus lens direct eyes that see The gifted hands Through timeless sands It hides from the outside And it shines from within When nature takes you for a stroll Down an avenue with so much soul Pleasure, gifts and the ornaments The creation found "in the moving cloud" It hides from the outside And it shines from within The kind that keep holding on And it shines within Second nature |

Turning Tide
|
|
Let me show you a face in disguise Uncover A colour that's faded Swept aside by the tide. Scene after scene, later; There's a grey dust that's in our eyes A misty cover; That hides on the turning tide. The soul of a proud man drowns Sad insinuation Using words that are unwise How they waver in your eyes Wheels within wheels are turning By now you know The soul of a proud man drowns For so long a proud man As we face the fierce wind And the turning tide. |

Skellig
|
|
Like mighty ships that sail atlantic foam The skellig isles parade the kerry coast It's a strange place With a needle's eye Where shipwrecks lie Where the king of the world Rested for a while And a place for the pilgrim A sanctuary of time Fourteen steps to nowhere Out of solid stone Don't lead us to the heavens Or lead us to the sea The vikings came to plunder and destroy But to this day the holy relics stand In a blind mans cove Where the wailing woman sighs And the seagulls cry Where the king of the world Rested for a while And a place for the pilgrim A sanctuary of time Fourteen steps to nowhere Out of solid stone Don't lead us to the heavens Or lead us to the sea A journey to these islands so rare The sound of screaming souls that fill the air A thousand wings Against the sky And grey seal's disguised Where the king of the world Rested for a while And a place for the pilgrim A sanctuary of time Fourteen steps to nowhere Out of solid stone Don't lead us to the heavens Or lead us to the sea |

Stepping Stone
|
|
Moving drift wood stopped and stared It proved too much for me I'm looking at an empty shell The young girl waiting She's waiting there With a suit case in her hand She won't look back on the land But with a change of heart For you it might come true It's like a stepping stone You know it's up to you Just like a stepping stone You know it might come true. She wants her freedom To see with her own eyes All the cities of the world And the faces strange to hers Strange in her eyes. But with a change of heart For you it might come true It's like a stepping stone You know it's up to you. With a change of heart You have to see it through It's like a steppng stone You know it's up to you It's like a stepping stone You know it might come true. |

White Fool
|
|
Rothaí an t'saoil ag cásadh leo Níl imeacht úaidh go deo Daoine corr an t'saoil ag góid leo Ní cuma leo go fóill Rothaí an t'saoil ag cásadh leo Níl imeacht úaidh go deo White fool, come to a new land There's a dark moon on the sand Then nothing was ever the same again This land is in their hands A thousand years of a tribeland Strong winds carry the pulse Greed and lust, it strips the earth bare When the white fool came to a new land Cries of an anthem, cráite Of fury and unrest, túirseach Fix your eyes to the sound, éist leo Of the horizon Rothaí an t'saoil ag cásadh leo Níl imeacht úaidh go deo Daoine corr an t'saoil ag góid leo Ní cuma leo go fóill Rothaí an t'saoil ag cásadh leo Níl imeacht úaidh go deo White fool, come to a new land There's a dark moon on the sand Then nothing was ever the same again This land is in their hands A thousand years of a tribeland Strong winds carry the pulse Greed and lust, it stripped the earth bare When the white fool came to a new land Bhí'os acu Ar a t séan dóigh Éist leo... |

Something to Believe In
|
|
Everybody's rushing around, Trying to keep a hold On some piece of mind All the time And somebody's lookin' around Tryin' to find Something to believe in To believe in All the things they promised They're always lies Well it's something Oh it's something to believe in You know it's something Every little once in a while You take a chance to win On a turning card But it may be hard We could be fooled on the merry-go-round But i'm trying to find Something to believe in To believe in All the things they promised You know they always lied Well it's something Oh it's something to believe in You know it's something I've been willing and strong all along Through chilling times In a sea of heartbreak Where you give and take I won't give in to promises Until i find something to believe in To believe in Well it's something Oh it's something to believe in You know it's something |

Live and Learn
|
|
Can't you feel the change in a different way When you listen? Like standing in the cold on a rainy day It didn't really matter Had no choice you had it your own way You live and learn It was just a shame on another day You know we kept on missing So try and try again No it's not in vain You live and you learn Heard that voice Now do it your own way You live and learn It's what you have to say you just say anyway Only space that matters Taking in the rays Holding out the pain So you live and you learn Take that choice To have it your own way So you live and learn |

Many Roads
|
|
When many roads lead to nowhere And all the places look the same Everywhere You just call me You just call 'cause I'll be there So many words said forever And all the tales of yesterday Fade away You just call me You just call 'cause I'll be there You just call 'cause I'll be there When many roads lead to nowhere And all the faces look the same Everywhere You just call me You just call 'cause I'll be there |

Sirius
|
|
A blind bargain can't you see In a cloud of secrecy Voices whispering for they might get heard Play with fire, be insane It's a danger game, cast aside A guiding star leads the way Sirius Our ocean's a red sea But you won't change your ways Or move close as the giant stares on The money and the power unite Cast aside A guiding star lights the way Sirius The brightness in this sky Light years we've tried As our childrens echoes become lonely cries The money and the power divide us Cast aside A guiding star lights the way Sirius And we'll see who cares For those that dare The time will tell Time will tell |
