Home lyrics

Black is the colour of my true love's hair
His lips are like some roses fair
He has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands
And I love the ground where on he stands

I love my love and well he knows
I love the ground where on he goes
How I wish that day would soon come when he and I can be as one

I go to the Clyde and I mourn and wait for satisfied
I never sleep
I write him letter

Is a Bhríd Óg Ní Mháille
'S tú d'fhág mo chroí cráite
'S chuir tú arraingeacha
An bháis fríd cheartlár mo chroí
Tá na céadta fear i ngrá
Le d'éadan ciúin náireach
Is go dtug tú barr breáchtacht'
Ar Thír Oirghiall más fíor

Níl ní ar bith is áille

Buachaill ón Éirne mé 's bhréagfainn cailín deas óg
Ní iarrfainn bó spré léi tá mé fhéin saibhir go leor
'S liom Corcaigh da mhéid é
Dhá thaobh a' ghleanna 's Tír Eoghain
'S mura n-athraí mé béasaí 's mé n' t-oidhr' ar Chontae Mhaigh Eo

This old house is falling down around my ears
I'm drowning in a river of my tears
When all my will is gone you hold me
Sway and I need you at the dimming of the day

You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide
You know just where I keep my better side

What days have come to keep us far apart
A broken promise or a broken heart
Now all the bonnie birds have wheeled away

Some say the heart is just like a wheel
When you bend it you can't mend it
And my love for you is like a sinking ship
My heart is on that ship out in that ocean

They say that death is a tragedy
It comes once and then it's over
But my one only wish is for that deep dark abyss
For what's the use of living with no true lover

And it's only love

Your hills and dales
And flowery vales that lie near the Moorlough Shore
Your vines that blow by Borden's grove
Will I ever see you more

Where the primrose glows and the violet grows
Where the trout and salmon play
With my line and hook
Delight I took to spend my youthful days

Last night I went to see my love and to hear what she might say
To see if she'd take pity on me
Lest I might go away

Where lagan streams sing lullaby
There blows a lily fair
When twilight gleam is in her eyes the night is on her hair

And like a love sick leanshee she hath my heart entrall
No life have I
No liberty when love is lord of all

And sometimes when the beetle's horn hath lulled the eve to sleep
I steal unto her shielling low and through her dooring peep

The girl's a fool
She broke the rule
She hurt him hard
This time he will break down

She's lost his trust and so she must know all is lost
The system has broke down
Romance has broke down

This boy is cracking up
This boy has broken down

This boy is cracking up
This boy has broke down

She plays it hard
She plays it tough but that's enough
The love is over

Oh
Peggy Gordan
You are my darling
Come sit you down upon my knee
And tell to me the very reason why I am slighted so by thee

I'm so in love that I can't deny it
My heart lies
Smotheres in my breast but it's not for you to let the world know it
A troubled mind can know no rest

I put my head to a glass of brandy
I was my fancy I do declare
For when I'm drinking I am always thinking

Last night as I lay dreaming of pleasant days gone by
My mind being bent on rambling
To Ireland I did fly
I stepped on board a vision and followed with the wind
'Til next I came to anchor at the cross near Spancill Hill

T'was on the twenty third June the day before the fair
When lreland's sons and daughters and friends assembled there
The young
The old
The brave
The bold came

Titolo: The girl's a fool
She broke the rule
She hurt him hard
This time you will break down
She's lost his trust
And so she must
Now all is lost
The system has broke down
Romance has broke down

This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broken down
This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broke down

She plays it hard
She plays it tough
But thats enough
The love is over
