Dul sios an gleann trathnona areir
D'imigh an scath as toin a 'tsleibh
An drucht 'na lui ar bharr an fheir
An saol uilig 'na gcodhladh
D'imigh an scath as toin a 'tsleibh
Gan baol ar bith go maidin

Durun an duiche seo
O ghluin go gluin
Lonad mar fhis sa cheo
Run go ciuin

Se cumhacht na gcrann fan ait
'Spreag na baird 'san fhiliocht
Na clocha 'ta coisbicthe fan ard

Thios fa gleann da locha
I dtobar i duin
Gartan cholmcille
Sin go la a'luain

Dul sios an gleann trathnona areir
D'imigh an scath as toin a 'tsleibh
An drucht 'na lui ar bharr an fheir
An saol uilig 'na gcodhladh
D'imigh an scath as toin a 'tsleibh
An drucht 'na lui ar bharr an fheir
D'imigh an scath as toin a 'tsleibh
Gan baol ar bith go maidin

Dul sios an gleann trathnona areir
D'imigh an scath as toin a 'tsleibh
An drucht 'na lui ar bharr an fheir
An saol uilig 'na gcodhladh
D'imigh an scath as toin a 'tsleibh
Gan baol ar bith go maidin

D'imigh an scath as toin a 'tsleibh
Gan baol ar bith go maidin...

How gentle was the breeze that surrounded the way
How loud the sea's roar on the four winds everyday
Sharing love, wounded gifts from ancient long ago
Together they closed in the circles we know

Will we treasure all the secrets with life's changing scenes?
Where our hearts were warm with love, so much love
Will the flowers grow again as I open out my hand?
Precious time, time for healing the beauty of this land
(2x)

How soulful those words that confuses the way
How wild the mountains' stare as they guard our every day
Take for granted noble hearts in the golden age that's flown
Between us, recall on a strong road we've known

Will we treasure all the secrets with life's changing scenes?
Where our hearts were warm with love, so much love
Will the flowers grow again as I open out my hand?
Precious time, time for healing the beauty of this land

Coming into certain lines of justice
A venue for a Venus and Eve
Take the balance of their beauty between them
A vain look can deceive

I'm only paying court to love
As deep as you can find
On the blind side of your heart
Safe inside your mind

When the length of days are dawning
It feels right in the light of understanding
There's always something bound to be a warning
When it's infinite it never meets

I'm only paying court to love
As deep as you could wish to find
On the blind side of your heart
Safe inside your mind
(2x)

I'm only paying court to love
As deep as you could wish to find
On the blind side of your heart
Safe inside, safe inside your mind

Court to love...

The mist has cleared from Muckish Hill
Our parting coming nearer
The last embrace, the final touch
With nothing more to say
Nothing more to say

As silence fell around the bridge
Not a single word was spoken
A bitter breeze, a lonely stream
Echoed through the glen
Echoed through the glen

Droichead na ndeor
Agus droichead na gcaointe
Droichead na gcaointe
Agus droichead na ndeor

Ochon 's o

Memories fade with passing age
In forlorn hope we wait for
Distant hills still haunt us now
Until the end of time
Until the end of time

Droichead na ndeor
Agus droichead na gcaointe
Droichead na gcaointe
Agus droichead na ndeor
(2x)

Autumn leaves are falling 'round us
Time to gather all those many thoughts
Of all the things that might have been
Or gained at such a cost
For some of us there's endless hoping
For some of us a craziness, too
Holding onto better reasons
Works for me and you, you know it's true

And when the stakes are higher
Never play with fire
Leave it alone

I wandered through a country churchyard
And wondered what kind of life they led
Walked into a castle ruin
Of gentry that had fled
For some of them had endless hoping
Some of them crazy, too
Holding onto better reasons
We'll never truly know

Those trees will tumble down on a stormy day
And those leaves will fade away, fade away

The autumn leaves are falling 'round us
I'm here to gather all my many thoughts
Of all the things that might have been
As the ground has turned to frost

Leaves are falling, autumn leaves are falling...

Let me see generation times
Will we hear children singing rhymes?
Sweet memories gone by, they're gone by
Let me be wiser with my eyes
Let me see my love by my side
Let me see heaven

Lonely years of searching the wilderness
How this world can lead us all astray
Don't let me cry over colorless pictures
No more bitter winds
No more troubled seas
Just forgive me and let me see

Let me see my love, let me see
Let me see my love, let me see

Let me see generation times
Will we hear children singing rhymes?
Sweet memories gone by, they're gone by
Let me be wiser with my eyes
Let me see my love by my side
Let me see heaven

Crossing the room, I recognize the child in me
I'll close my eyes to release away all my fears
We silence the rose to see it blossom back again
Step by step we walk on
Word by word we talk on
Just forgive me and let me see

Let me see generation times
Will we hear children singing rhymes?
Sweet memories gone by, they're gone by
Let me be wiser with my eyes
Let me see my love by my side
Let me see heaven

An seanchas gearr, an seanchas is fearr
An sceal is giorra is milse i mbeal
An chuid is lu an chuid is fearr
Focal no dho ma thaithnionn lig do

Fa la lore, fol la lae
Fol de da du ril la

Fa la lore, fol la lae

Sceal gearr greanmhar na sceal fada fann
Droch-sceal fada no sceal maith lan
Sceal deas goirid an scealin is fearr
An iomarca le ra, na dean port de

Chomh domhain leis an fharraige, dubh le gual
Chomh bodhar le bata, chomh bocht leis an deor
Chomh direach le feagh, chomh dubh leis a smear
Chomh gasta le giorrfhia, chomh bocht leis an deor

Fa la lore, fol la lae
Fol de da du ril la

Fa la lore, fol la lae

I came around, and I was in need
You came by my side, all my troubles to ease
You collected my heart, healing the past
You'll never lay down and I can count on you

We all speak well of a bridge that carries us over
Over safe
The art of compromise has surely been our greatest strength
...our greatest strength.

When someone pretends, to circle your friends
And finds he's betraying you 'fore it all ends
A bittersweet chain, that'll always remain
So don't let illusions get the better of you

We all speak well of a bridge that carries us over
...over safe
The art of compromise has surely been our greatest strength
...our greatest strength.Love is to share, where words can't compare
Love is desire, so full of fire

We all speak well of a bridge that carries us over
...over safe
The art of compromise has surely been our greatest strength
...our greatest strength.

We all speak well of a bridge that carries us over
...over safe
The art of compromise has surely been our greatest strength
...our greatest strength.

Touching hands, finding words from your heart
Where's the common speech?
Behind the shield, a lone man grows

Siuil ag siuil an bhealach seo
An bhealach seo ta romham'sa
Siuil in aice liomsa
Is bi i gconai caoimh

Scairt tu orm isteach i mo chroi
Chuala me do ghlor istigh i mo chroi
Istigh i mo chroi
Scairt tu orm isteach i mo chroi
Ar an bhealach seo scairt tu an dan

Calling out, secret lines from your heart
Wise beyond your years
Made my life more worthy now

Siuil ag siuil an bhealach seo
An bhealach seo ta romham'sa
Siuil in aice liomsa
Is bi i gconai caoimh

Siuil ag siuil an bhealach seo

Broken pieces everywhere,
I stilled my mind, and found I care
Running on the morning tide,
Something you would say to me.

We drank the waters of delight,
We played the games of wrong and right.
Did we understand
They're just footsteps in the sand?

Oh long dreaming, find my tears
I could love you, all the years.
There are times like today
The wind will blow in a gentle way.

Mark it down in frozen glass
Lied to me that i could win.
So many ways to share a love
With words and touch we promised much.

Do we understand
The footsteps in the sand?

I believe.
I believe too easily.

I believe.
I believe too easily.

Oh long dreaming find my tears
I could love you all the years.
Here I stand still the same
I guess this showcase changed the name.

Hard to know who plays the fool,
Never looking back on years
I wonder now witch way to face
I catch a vision of this place.

Did we understand
The footsteps in the sand?

Secrets I left behind, farewell now
A new world to desire, to desire
Change the pictures, change the pages
It matters little how I knew you

Ma bhionn tu liom, bi liom
A stor mo chroi
Ma bhionn tu liom, bi liom
A mhile gra
Ma bhionn tu liom

Voices of memories, I hear you
A book of stories told, stories old
Dreams of good times, dreams of sad times
And foolish moments we will always share

Ma bhionn tu liom, bi liom
A stor mo chroi
Ma bhionn tu liom, bi liom
A mhile gra
Ma bhionn tu liom, bi liom
A stor mo chroi
Ma bhionn tu liom, bi liom
A mhile gra
Ma bhionn tu liom, bi liom
A stor mo chroi
Ma bhionn tu liom

Twilight is creeping over hillsides
The candle's burning bright, burning bright
Silent feelings, silent my eyes
I wonder how much we'll always stay
