1. Gone

You used to come around
So my heart you found
The things that love can bring
The joy, the pain,
and everything

And so we spent a while
Swept up in each other's smile
In never thougt I'd see
The day would come when
you'd leave, now you're gone

Chorus
Gone, gone, now you're gone
Gone, gone, gone,
now you're gone

Now in the lonely night
Within the pale moon light
I see my lover's face
I feel that warm yet lost
embrace you're gone

Chorus...

2. A Lover's Tale

When you're in love,
your in forever
When you're in love,
you love alone

I wasn't looking,
but somehow I found you
You were a shadow,
and I was a statue
I thought
you were my saviour
Until I heard your lover's tale
And then I knew, I'd have to
face tomorrow, alone

I never loved so, I never knew
what I was feeling,
when I first met you

And when you're gone
you're gone forever
And when you're saved
you're saved alone
Now in your dreams, do you see me ever, i wonder

I never questioned, the
answers you gave me
I only wanted
someone to save me.

3. Fields of Athenry *

By lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling
Michael they have
taken you away
For you stole Trevelyn's corn
So the young
might see the morn
the prision ship lies
waiting in the bay

Chorus
Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched
the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams
and songs to sing
It's so lonely round
the fields of Athenry

By lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling

Nothing matters
Mary when you're free
Against the famine
and the crown
I rebelled, they ran me down
now you must
Raise our child in dignity

Chorus

By lonely harbour wall
She watched the last star falling
As the prison ship sailed out
against the sky
Though she lives in hope,
and prays
For her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely
round the fields of Athenry

Chorus

4. The World I Know

Blow the wind, blow all day
All my sins, blown away
Blow the wind, blow the
wind, blow....

The world around me turns
What changes do I see
Slowly clouds go by
And all my memories are like,
the clouds on high
They pass as seasons go
Into the great unknown
Far from the world I know

Chorus
Oh where, have
all the dreams gone
And where, are,
all who belonged
Unto the world, I know

Now in Lost retreat
I find myself back home
I wander down the street
Where all my feelings roam
I freely shed my tears
Of happiness and woe
So wonderful to be
Back in the world I know

Chorus

5. In Your Arms

Hark the wind is calling
Back where I belong
Softly it sings timeless songs
Over the years, and down
through my heart,
To my soul
Longing to be,
in your arms, in your arms

In your arms, in your arms, in your arms

Yes my heart I give you
Live my whole life with you
and when night-time takes
you I will be
Here beside forever,
I will leave you never
Longing to be,
in your arms, in your arms.

In your arms, in your arms, in your arms

6. Light From a Distant Shore

Looking out,
through the open door
Visions flow
of a long lost cause
The seas unfold, their
forgotten shores....to me

See the light
from a distant shore

Journey forth to a far off land
I hear the call,
yet not understand
The light I see in the glistening sand....for me

See the light
from a distant shore

There's a place I go to when I
need some shelter
From the storm
Where none will
find me yet tomorrow
I'll return my soul reborn

So I watch, as the days go by
I see my ship
with the sails pulled high
One last time
I will journey to
Forgotten shores
where souls renew

See the light
from a distant shore

7. An Eriskay Love Lilt *

Vair me o, ro van o
Vair me o, ro van ee
Vair me o, o ru o ho
Sad am I without thee

When I'm lonely
dear white heart
Black the night
and wild the sea
By love's light my foot finds
The old pathway to thee

The wind in the trees
A voice on the breeze
Here I do wait
and I hope you will be
Safe through the night
And in morning light
you will be
here dear white heart
You will be here
dear white heart

Thou'rt the music of my heart
Harp of joy o' cuit mo chridh
Moon of guidance by night
Strength and light
thou'rt to me

The wind in the trees
A voice on the breeze
You will be here
dear white heart
You will be here
dear white heart

8. Rowan Tree *

Oh rowan tree oh rowan tree
Thou aye be dear to me
Entwind thou art
with many ties
of home and infancy
Thy leaves were like
the first of spring
Thy flowers the
summer's pride
There was nae such a bonnie tree
In all the country side...oh rowan tree

Rowan tree, rowan tree, rowan tree
Oh rowan tree

How fair were thou in
summer time
With all the clusters white
How rich and gay
in autumn dress
With berries wed and bright
Oh thy fair stem
were many names
Which now no more I see
But they're engraven
in my heart
Forgot they ne'er can be...oh rowan tree

Rowan tree, rowan tree, rowan tree
Oh rowan tree

We sat aneath
thy spreading shade
The bairnies round thee ran
They pulled thy
bonnie berries red
And necklaces they strang
My mother oh I see her still
She smiled our sports to see
With little Jennie on her lap
With Jamie at her knee

Oh there
arose my father's prayer
in holy evening's calm
How sweet was then my
mother's voice
In the martyr's psalm
Now and again
we meet no more
Aneath the rowan tree
But hollowed thoughts around
thee twine
Of home and infancy

Oh rowan tree

9. Fallen Flowers

There on a misty morning,
the sun slowly rised
After the Battle of Halidon Hill
There lies her youngest son,
tears in his eyes
Wounded and dying,
she hears him still.

Ma, if I could live my life again
If I could call the world
my friend
If I could write the
story's end...I would
I would give all
these things in vain
To feel you hold me once again

A smile comes to his face
An uneasy calm
In front of him,
his life flashes by
Amidst his boyish charms,
he feels his mother's arms
In that painless moment, he
hears her cry

Son, if I could roll back the years
If I could see
through these tears
If I could face all of my fears
I would
I would give everything in vain
Just to hold you once again

Remember me forever
(I'll be here forever)
Please forget me never
(I'll be here forever)
repeat

If I could roll back the years
If I could see
through these tears
If I could face all of my fears
And, if I could live my life again
And, if I could life, again
If I culd call
the world my friend
If I could write
the story's end...I would
I'd live a thousand years of pain
Just to hold you once...again.

10. Dream

Sleep, sleep, go to sleep
Go to sleep my baby
Sweet, dreams,
beautiful scenes
Close your eyes and sleep
Close your eyes and sleep

Stay calm
all through the night
Stay calm my baby
Dream your dreams,
all's what it seems
When you're fast asleep
Close your eyes and sleep

For within the world of rest
Lies the land of dreams
All who journey to her shores
Must play out their schemes,
and dream

Go to sleep my little one
go to sleep my baby
And when rest has
embraced your soul
Then you'll be free...to dream

Dream, dream, dream...
Go to sleep and dream
Go to sleep and dream

11. Skye Boat Song *

Speed bonnie boat,
like a bird on the wing
Onward the sailor's cry
Carry the lad
that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye

Loud the winds howl,
Loud the waves roar
Thunder clouds rent the air
Baffled our foes,
stand on the shore
Follow they will not dare

Though the waves leap,
soft shall ye sleep
Ocean's a royal bed
Rocked in the deep,
Flora will keep
Watch by your weary head

Speed bonnie boat,
like a bird on the wing
Onward the sailor's cry
Carry the lad,
that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye

12. Amazing Grace *

Amazing grace,
how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost,
but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see

T'was grace that taught my
heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How previous did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Amazing grace,
how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost,
but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
Was blind but now I see
