Rosslyn Road

She called me and said 
I'll meet you at Molly Molone's 
We walked by the river 
Then over the bridge 
To Rosslyn Road 

With tears in her eyes 
She said no one else needs to know 
The look on her face was as cold as the night 
On Rosslyn Road 

She was so much younger then 
And time was on her side 
Summers never seemed to end 
The sun would always shine 
Now the winter's revealing everything 
And there is nowhere left to hide 

There's no time to pray 
Just give me the money and go 
I handed it to her and then she walked away 
Down Rosslyn Road 

Young ladies take heed 
Be careful where you lay your coat 
For you may lose someone you're never gonna meet 
Down Rosslyn Road

Suffolk

When I saw you
Twas like I'd seen your face 
Long before that day 
When I saw you 
Twas like a love that once lost 
I'd found again 

I knew my search was over 
Then you were gone 
And left me here 
Alone in the garden 
But I can see you standing there 
When I saw you 

When I kissed you 
I felt the winter chill 
Cold against your cheek 
When I kissed you I felt our souls entwined 
Soon to be released 

And it will last forever 
Though you have gone 
And left me here 
Alone in the garden 
But I can feel you standing there 
When I kissed you

Crazy Jane On God

That lover of a night 
Came when he would, 
Went in the dawning light 
Whether I would or no; 
Men come, men go; 
All things remain in God. 

Banners choke the sky; 
Men-at-arms tread; 
Armoured horses neigh 
Where the great battle was 
In the narrow pass: 
All things remain in God. 

Before their eyes a house 
That from childhood stood 
Uninhabited, ruinous, 
Suddenly lit up 
From door to top: 
All things remain in God. 

I had wild Jack for a lover; 
Though like a road 
That men pass over 
My body makes no moan 
But sings on: 
All things remain in God

Lyrics by William Butler Yeats


Embrace The Mystery

Hear my prayer 
And let it come unto thee 
Lord help me to forgive 
And embrace the mystery 

Hear my prayer 
And let it come unto thee 
Lord help me to forgive 
And embrace the mystery

Hope (D'chas)

Hope for Freedom 
Hope for Peace 
Hope it will come silently 
If we're all under one banner 
Then the day will surely come 
And we'll find that in the end 
You and I are one 
We can travel to the furthest star 
Fall in and out of Love 
But we'll find that in the end 
You and I are one

Sally In Our Alley

Of all the girls that are so smart 
There 's none like pretty Sally; 

She is the darling of my heart, 
And she lives in our alley. 

Of all the ladies in the land 
There's none so sweet as Sally; 

She is the darling of my heart, 
And she lives in our alley. 

Of all the days that are in the week 
I dearly love but one day - 

And that 's the day that comes between 
A Saturday and Monday; 

For then I'm dressed all in my best
To walk abroad with Sally; 

She is the darling of my heart, 
And she lives in our alley.

Lyrics by Henry Carey (1693-1743)


Dance With Me Now

Will you come dance with me under the stars
The future's uncertain and yesterday has gone
Just like the river that flows out to the sea 
I'll always find you wherever you may be

We all have that gypsy side to our soul
That wanderlust gleam in our eye
But why wait for thundery crashes or flashes of light

Dance with me now to the sound of the fiddle
Dance with me now to the flute and the drum
The pipes are calling the harp and the whistle
Will you dance with me now while the night is still young

So don't think of me one of your
Fair weather friends
I'll never leave you
I'll be there at the end
Just like the river that flows out to the sea
My love will find you wherever you may be

We all have that gypsy side to our soul
That wanderlust gleam in our eye
But why wait for thundery crashes or flashes of light

Dance with me now to the sound of the fiddle
Dance with me now to the flute and the drum
The pipes are calling the harp and the whistle
Will you dance with me now while the night is still young

There'll Be No Good Without You

Pour away the seven seas 
Pack up the stars and moon 
Sweep away the wood 
There'll be no good without you 

Answer every single prayer 
Make every wish come true 
Even if I could 
There'll be no good without you 

Once in a dream 
I saw you walking down a country lane 
The only music was the sound of high winds 
Blowing through the trees 

Then there was emptiness 
I never thought that it would be like this 
If I could only tell you once again 
How much you meant to me 

So pour away the seven seas 
Pack up the stars and moon 
Sweep away the wood 
There'll be no good without you

Then I Saw White Horses

I've looked for a heart that has never been broken 
Seen every star in the sky 
Searched for the gate that has never been opened 
The other man's garden was greener than mine 

I've lost everything that I thought I was winning
After the fire had burned 
I found in the end it was just the beginning 
I had to forget everything that I'd learned 

Then I saw white horses out there on the ocean 
Under a dark blue sky
The waves turned to laughter
And there was the answer all the time
This love is never gonna die

There's only one heart that can never be broken
Always a star in the sky
Behind every gate there's another man's garden
And ever the story goes round and around

Cause I've seen white horses out there on the ocean
Under a dark blue sky
The waves turned to laughter
And there was the answer all the time
This love is never gonna die
