"The Parting Glass"

"The Parting Glass"


Of all the money that e'er I had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm I've ever done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To mem'ry now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be to you all
[Chorus]
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate’er befalls
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it fell unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
Fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate’er befalls
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
La La
But since it fell unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
[Chorus]
Good night and joy be to you all.

"The Prayer"

"The Prayer"


I pray you'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know

Let this be our prayer
As we go our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe

I pray we'll find your light
And hold it in our hearts
When stars go out each night
Remind us where you are

Let this be our prayer
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

We ask that life be kind
And watch us from above
We hope each soul will find
Another soul to love

Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Needs to find a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

Need to find a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

"The Sky And The Dawn And The Sun"

"The Sky And The Dawn And The Sun"


High is the moon tonight
Hiding its guiding light
High

Heaven and earth do sleep
Still in the dark so deep
I will the darkness sweep

I will the moon to flight
I will the heavens bright
I will the earth delight

Open your eyes with me
See paradise with me
Awake and arise with me

I am the dawn, I'm the new day begun
I bring you the morning, I bring you the sun
I hold back the night and I open the skies
I give light to the world, I give sight to your eyes

From the first of all time, until time is undone
Forever and ever and ever and ever
And I am the dawn and the sky and the sun
I am one with the One, and I am the dawn

I am the sky and the dawn and the sun
I am the sky and the new day begun
I am the sky and the dawn and the sun

"The Soft Goodbye"

"The Soft Goodbye"


Ahhhhhhhh - [repeats/chorus]

When the light begins to fade,
And shadows fall across the sea,
One bright star in the evening sky,
Your love's light leads me on my way.

There's a dream that will not sleep,
A burning hope that will not die.
So I must go now with the wind,
And leave you waiting on the tide.

Time to fly, time to touch the sky.
One voice alone - a haunting cry.
One song, one star burning bright,
Let it carry me through darkest night.

Rain comes over the grey hills,
And on the air, a soft goodbye.
Hear the song that I sing to you,
When the time has come to fly.

When I leave and take the wing,
And find the land that fate will bring,
The brightest star in the evening sky,
(Is your love far from me)
Is your love waiting far for me.

(oh) Is your love waiting far from me....

"The Voice"

"The Voice"


I hear your voice on the wind
And I hear you call out my name

"Listen, my child," you say to me
"I am the voice of your history
Be not afraid, come follow me
Answer my call, and I'll set you free"

I am the voice in the wind and the pouring rain
I am the voice of your hunger and pain
I am the voice that always is calling you
I am the voice, I will remain

I am the voice in the fields when the summer's gone
The dance of the leaves when the autumn winds blow
Ne'er do I sleep thoughout all the cold winter long
I am the force that in springtime will grow

I am the voice of the past that will always be
Filled with my sorrow and blood in my fields
I am the voice of the future, bring me your peace
Bring me your peace, and my wounds, they will heal

I am the voice in the wind and the pouring rain
I am the voice of your hunger and pain
I am the voice that always is calling you
I am the voice

I am the voice of the past that will always be
I am the voice of your hunger and pain
I am the voice of the future
I am the voice, I am the voice
I am the voice, I am the voice

"The Water Is Wide"

"The Water Is Wide"


The water is wide I can't cross o'er
And I'ver have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
A ship there is and she sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim
[Bagpipe solo]
The water is wide I can't cross o'er
And I'ver have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
And both shall row, my love and I
My love and I
My love and I
My love and I

"The Wexford Carol"

"The Wexford Carol"


Good people all, this Christmas-time,
Consider well and bear in mind
What our good God for us has done,
In sending His beloved Son.
With Mary holy we should pray
To God with love this Christmas Day:
In Bethlehem upon that morn
There was a blessed Messiah born.
Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep
Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep;
To whom God's angels did appear,
Which put the shepherds in great fear.
"Arise and go," the angels said,
"To Bethlehem, be not afraid;
For there you'll find this happy morn
A princely Babe, sweet Jesus born."
With thankful heart and joyful mind,
The shepherds went the Babe to find,
And as God's angel had foretold,
They did our Saviour Christ behold.
Within a manger He was laid,
And by his side the Virgin Maid,
As long foretold, upon that morn
there was a blessed Messiah born

"The Whole Of The Moon"
(originally by The Waterboys)

"The Whole Of The Moon"
(originally by The Waterboys)



I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hands
I had flashes
But you saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

You were there in the turnstiles
With the wind at your heels
You stretched for the stars
And you know how it feels
To reach too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon

I was grounded
While you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truth
You cut through lies
I saw the rain dirty valley
You saw Brigadoon
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon

I spoke about wings
You just flew
I wondered I guessed and I tried
You just knew
I sighed
But you swooned
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

Unicorns and cannonballs
Palaces and piers
Trumpets, towers and tenements
Wide oceans full of tears
Flags, rags, ferryboats
Scimitars and scarves
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the stars

Yes you climbed on the ladder
With the wind in your sails
You came like a comet
Blazing your trail
Too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

"There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart)"
(originally by Eurythmics)

"There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart)"
(originally by Eurythmics)



No one on Earth could feel like this
I'm thrown and overblown with bliss
There must be an Angel
Playing with my heart
I walk into an empty room
And suddenly my heart goes boom
It's an orchestra of Angels
And they're playing with my heart, yeah
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
No one on Earth could feel like this
I'm thrown and overblown with bliss
There must be an Angel
Playing with my heart
And when I think that I'm alone
It seems there's more of us at home
It's a multitude of Angels
And they're playing with my heart
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
I must be hallucinating
Watching Angels celebrating
Could this be reactivating
All my senses dislocating
This must be a strange deception
By celestial intervention
Leaving me the recollection
Of your heavenly connection
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
I walk into an empty room
And suddenly my heart goes boom
It's an orchestra of Angels
They're playing with my heart
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel

"Time To Say Goodbye"

"Time To Say Goodbye"


When I am alone I sit and dream
And when I dream the words are missing
Yes, I know that in a room so full of light
That all the lights are missing
But I don't see you with me, with me
Close up the windows, bring the sun to my room
Through the door you've opened
Close, inside of me the light you see
That you met in the darkness
Time to say goodbye
Horizons are never far
Would I have to find them alone
Without true light of my own?
With you I will go
On ships over seas
That I now know
No, they don't exist anymore
It's time to say goodbye
When you were so far away
I sat alone and dreamt of the horizon
Then I knew that you were here with me, with me
Building bridges over land and sea
Shine a blinding light for you and me
To see, for us to be
Time to say goodbye
Horizons are never far
Would I have to find them alone
Without true light of my own?
With you I will go
On ships over seas
That I now know
No, they don't exist anymore
Without true light of my own
With you I will go
On ships over seas
That I now know
No, they don't exist anymore
Without true light of my own
With you I will go
You with me...
