Every time you go away
I know it won’t be for long, though it seems
And all the times we spend apart
That ticking-tock clock seems to last for weeks
Well, I guess it is quite wrong
To expect you to climb up here each week
Yes, I guess it ain’t so long
Four hours on a bus for you’s a treat
And it won’t be long
And it won’t be long
All day long, I sit here
All day long, I sit here
All day long, I sit here
Thinkin’ bout you
Yes, I know there’s a million miles
And aeroplanes, well, they keep us apart
But when I sit alone at night on my bus, darling
Well, you’re in my heart
And it won’t be long
And it won’t be long
All day long, I sit here
Thinkin’ ’bout you
Thinkin’ ’bout you
So complicated times have passed
But I’m sorry, babe, I feel the same for you
Yes, I know I broke it off, but I’m sorry, babe,
You just didn’t stay true
And it won’t be long
And it won’t be long
All day long, I sit here thinkin’ ’bout
You
Cat's In The Cradle lyrics - Celtic Thunder
My child arrived just the other day
Came into the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talkin’ ‘fore I knew it, and as he grew
He’d say “I’m gonna be like you, Dad
You know I’m gonna be like you.”
Well, the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little Boy Blue and the Man in the Moon
“When you comin’ home, Dad?”
“I don’t know when, but we’ll get together then, son.
You know we’ll have a good time then.”
My son turned ten just the other day
He said, “Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on, let’s play.
Can you teach me to throw?” I said, “Not today
I got a lot to do”, he said, “That’s ok.”
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
And said, “I’m gonna be like him, yeah.
You know I’m gonna be like him.”
And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little Boy Blue and the Man in the Moon
“When you comin’ home, Dad?”
“I don’t know when, but we’ll get together then, son.
You know we’ll have a good time then.”
Well, he came from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
“Son, I’m proud of you. Can you sit for a while?”
He shook his head and said with a smile,
“What I’d really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys.
See you later. Can I have them please?”
Well, the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little Boy Blue and the Man in the Moon
“When you comin’ home, son?”
“I don’t know when, but we’ll get together then, Dad.
You know we’ll have a good time then.”
Well, I’ve long since retired; my son’s moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, “I’d like to see you if you don’t mind.”
He said, “I’d love to, Dad, if I can find the time.
You see, my new job’s a hassle and the kids have the flu
But it’s sure nice talking to you, Dad.
It’s been sure nice talking to you.”
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
He’d grown up just like me
My boy was just like me
Well, the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little Boy Blue and the Man on the Moon
“When you comin’ home, son?”
“I don’t know when, but we’ll get together then, Dad.
You know we’ll have a good time then.”
Came into the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay

Maid Of Culmore lyrics - Celtic Thunder
Leaving sweet lovely Derry for fair London town,
There is no finer harbor all around can be found,
Where the youngsters each evening go down to the shore,
And the joy bells are ringing for the maid of Culmore.
The first time I saw her she passed me by,
And the next time I saw her she bid me goodbye,
But the last time I saw her it grieved my heart so,
For she sailed down Loch Foyle and away from Culmore.
If I had the power the storms for to rise,
I would make the wind blow out and I'd darken the skies,
I'd make the wind blow high and the salt seas to roar,
Till the day that my darling sailed away from Culmore.
To the bad parts of America my love I'll go see,
For it's there I know no one and no one knows me,
But if I don't find her I'll return home no more,
Like a pilgrim I'll wander for the maid of Culmore.
There is no finer harbor all around can be found,
Where the youngsters each evening go down to the shore,
And the joy bells are ringing for the maid of Culmore.
The first time I saw her she passed me by,
And the next time I saw her she bid me goodbye,
But the last time I saw her it grieved my heart so,
For she sailed down Loch Foyle and away from Culmore.
If I had the power the storms for to rise,
I would make the wind blow out and I'd darken the skies,
I'd make the wind blow high and the salt seas to roar,
Till the day that my darling sailed away from Culmore.
To the bad parts of America my love I'll go see,
For it's there I know no one and no one knows me,
But if I don't find her I'll return home no more,
Like a pilgrim I'll wander for the maid of Culmore.
All Out Of Love lyrics - Celtic Thunder
I’m lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you ’til it hurts
I know you’re hurt, too, but what else can we do?
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile in my heart
For times when my life seems so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow would bring
When today doesn’t really know, doesn’t really know
I’m all out of love, I’m so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I’m all out of love, what am I without you
I can’t be too late to say, “I was so wrong”
I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from these long lonely nights
I’m reaching for you; are you feeling it, too?
Does the feeling seem oh, so right?
And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I can’t hold on?
There’s no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I’ll be gone
I’ll be gone
I’m all out of love, I’m so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I’m all out of love, what am I without you
I can’t be too late to say, “I was so wrong”
Ooh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
I’m all out of love, I’m so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I’m all out of love, what am I without you
I can’t be too late to say, “I was so wrong”
I’m all out of love, I’m so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I’m all out of love, what am I without you
I can’t be too late to say, “I was so wrong”
I’m all out of love, I’m so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I’m all out of love, what am I without you
I can’t be too late to say, “I was so wrong”
This Is The Moment lyrics - Celtic Thunder
This is the moment
This is the day
When I send all my doubts and demons
On their way
Every endeavor
I have made–ever
Is coming into play
Is here and now–today
This is the moment
This is the time
When the momentum and the moment
Are in rhyme
Give me this moment
This precious chance
I’ll gather up my past
And make some sense at last
This is the moment
When all I’ve done
All of the dreaming
Scheming and screaming
Become one
This is the day
See it sparkle and shine
When all I’ve lived for
Becomes mine
For all of these years
I’ve faced the world alone
And now the time has come
To prove to them
I’ve made it on my own
This is the moment
My final test
Destiny beckoned
I never reckoned
Second best
I won’t look down
I must not fall
This is the moment
The sweetest moment of them all
This is the moment
Damn all the odds
This day or never
I’ll sit forever
With the gods
When I look back
I will always recall
Moment for moment
This was the moment
The greatest moment
Of them all
This is the day
When I send all my doubts and demons
On their way
Every endeavor
I have made–ever
Is coming into play
Is here and now–today
This is the moment
This is the time
When the momentum and the moment
Are in rhyme
Give me this moment
This precious chance
I’ll gather up my past
And make some sense at last
This is the moment
When all I’ve done
All of the dreaming
Scheming and screaming
Become one
This is the day
See it sparkle and shine
When all I’ve lived for
Becomes mine
For all of these years
I’ve faced the world alone
And now the time has come
To prove to them
I’ve made it on my own
This is the moment
My final test
Destiny beckoned
I never reckoned
Second best
I won’t look down
I must not fall
This is the moment
The sweetest moment of them all
This is the moment
Damn all the odds
This day or never
I’ll sit forever
With the gods
When I look back
I will always recall
Moment for moment
This was the moment
The greatest moment
Of them all
The Galway Girl lyrics - Celtic Thunder
Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk
Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl
'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl
We were halfway there when the rain came down
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
And she asked me up to her flat downtown
Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl
When I woke up I was all alone
With a broken heart and a ticket home
And I ask you now, tell me what would you do
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue
I've traveled around I've been all over this world
Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk
Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl
'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl
We were halfway there when the rain came down
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
And she asked me up to her flat downtown
Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl
When I woke up I was all alone
With a broken heart and a ticket home
And I ask you now, tell me what would you do
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue
I've traveled around I've been all over this world
Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
Falling Slowly lyrics - Celtic Thunder
I don’t know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can’t react
And games that never amount
To more than they’re meant
Will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice; you have a choice
You’ll make it now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can’t go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I’m painted black
Well, you have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It’s time that you won
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice; you have a choice
You’ve made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I’ll sing it loud
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can’t react
And games that never amount
To more than they’re meant
Will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice; you have a choice
You’ll make it now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can’t go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I’m painted black
Well, you have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It’s time that you won
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice; you have a choice
You’ve made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I’ll sing it loud
Seven Drunken Nights lyrics - Celtic Thunder
As I went home on Monday night as drunk as drunk could be
I saw a horse outside the door where my old horse should be
Well, I called me wife and I said to her: “Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns that horse outside the door where my old horse should be?”
“Ah, you’re drunk,
You’re drunk, you silly old fool,
Still you can not see
That’s a lovely sow that me mother sent to me.”
“It’s many a day I’ve travelled a hundred miles or more
But a saddle on a sow sure I never saw before.”
And as I went home on Tuesday night as drunk as drunk could be
I saw a coat behind the door where my old coat should be
So I called me wife and I said to her: “Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns that coat behind the door where my old coat should be?”
“Ah, you’re drunk,
You’re drunk, you silly old fool,
Still you can not see
That’s a woollen blanket that me mother sent to me.”
“It’s many a day I’ve travelled a hundred miles or more
But buttons in a blanket sure I never saw before.”

But tobacco in a tin whistle sure I never saw before.”
And as I came home on a Thursday? …Thursday night as drunk as drunk could be
I-I-I saw two boots beneath the bed where my old boots should be
Well, I called me wife and I says to her: “Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns them boots beneath the bed where my old boots should be?”
“Ah, you’re drunk,
You’re drunk, you silly old fool,
Still you can not see
They’re two lovely geranium pots me mother sent to me.”
“Well, it’s many a day I’ve travelled a hundred miles or more
But laces in geranium pots I never saw before.”
Well, as I went home on Friday night as drunk as drunk could be
I saw a head upon the bed where my bald head should be
Well, I called me wife and I said to her: “Would you kindly tell to me
Who owns that head upon the bed where my old head should be?”
“Ah, you’re drunk,
You’re drunk, you silly old fool,
Still you can not see
That’s a baby boy that me mother sent to me.”
“Well, it’s many a day I’ve travelled a hundred miles or more
But a baby boy with his whiskers on sure I never saw before.”
“Ah, you’re drunk,
You’re drunk, you silly old fool,
Still you can not see
That’s a baby boy that me mother sent to me.”

Girls, Girls, Girls lyrics - Celtic Thunder
Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls
Well, yellow, red, black or white
Add a little bit of moonlight
For this intercontinental romance
Shy girls, sexy girls
they all like that fancy world
Champagne, a gentle song, a slow dance
Who makes it fun to spend your money?
Who calls you honey most every day?
Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls
Well, they made ‘em up in Hollywood
And put ‘em into the movies
Those lovely photographic splendors
In and out of magazines
Miss World and beauty queens
Falling in love with the real big spenders.
But although their world may be frantic
They’re still romantic in their own way
So hop on, the world is swinging
Don’t sit and twiddle your thumbs
Get up and meet those pretty girls, girls, girls
Step on, the world keeps swinging
Put on the dazzling charm
Get up and find those pretty girls!
Don’t rush, keep it nice and gentle
And sentimental for that certain moment
Moonlit oceans, girls full of emotions
Stepping on that slow boat to China
And next door in Japan, they know how to please a man
Calling in for tea with my geisha
They’ve got that old-fashioned feeling
When it comes to pleasing, they know their way
So hop on, the world is swinging
Don’t sit and twiddle your thumbs
Get up and meet those pretty girls, girls, girls
Step on, the world keeps swinging
Put on the dazzling charm
Get up and find those pretty girls!
Don’t rush, keep it nice and gentle
And sentimental for that certain moment when you draw back the curtain
So hop on, the world is swinging
Don’t sit and twiddle your thumbs
Get up and meet those pretty girls
Ooh, forever

New Day Dawning lyrics - Celtic Thunder
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
Over our mountains and valleys of green
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
And shining Your light from above
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
Over our mountains and valleys of green
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
And shining Your light from above
All over this land that we love
This is our land; this is where we belong
Here between mountain and sea
Here is our future and here is our past
And here, we are destined to be
This is our land; this is where we belong
These are our fields and our farms
God gave us protection and gave us the right
And gave us the strength in our arms
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
Over our mountains and valleys of green
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
And shining Your light from above
All over this land that we love
This is our land; this is where we will stay
And fight for the right to be here
This is the land where our fathers have spilled
Their blood and their sweat and their tears
This is our land; this is where we belong
And where we intend to remain
We'll drive the invader back over the sea
Again and again and again and again and again and again
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
Over our mountains and valleys of green
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
And shining Your light from above
All over this land that we love
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning

Outside Looking In lyrics - Celtic Thunder
I'm on the outside lookin' in,
But I like it this way.
Here on the outside lookin' in,
I see the games that they play.
I'm on the outside lookin' in,
But I don't really care.
Here in the outside lookin' in,
'Long as I get my share.
You know that I'll take my share…
When it's late at night,
They blow out the light,
And although they might be sleein'.
If they hear a sound,
I may be around,
And they know I could be creepin', (creepin' creepin')
They must be aware,
If they think I'm there, it's a very scary feelin'!
Lyin' in their beds,
Running through their heads,
Is one thought-what is he stealin'?
I'm on the outside lookin' in,
But I like it this way.
Here on the outside lookin' in,
I see the games that they play.
I'm on the outside lookin' in,
But I don't really care.
Here in the outside lookin' in,
'Long as I get my share.
You know that I'll take my share…
I can hear then tell
I'm a hound of hell,
As they get the smell of danger.
As I'm coming near
I can taste their fear
Of the dark and deadly stranger.
They know who I am
I don't give a damn,
I could lead ev'ry lamb to the slaughter.
So be on your guard
For my calling card,
And be sure, to lock up your daughters.
They keep us outside lookin' in,
My sister and me.
And if we're outside lookin' in,
That's the way it will be.
We're on the outside lookin' in,
But we don't really care.
Here on the outside lookin' in,
'Long as we get our share,
You know that we'll take our share.
We're on the outside lookin' in,
We're on the outside lookin' in,
We're on the outside lookin' in.
But I like it this way.
Here on the outside lookin' in,
I see the games that they play.
I'm on the outside lookin' in,
But I don't really care.
Here in the outside lookin' in,
'Long as I get my share.
You know that I'll take my share…
When it's late at night,
They blow out the light,
And although they might be sleein'.
If they hear a sound,
I may be around,
And they know I could be creepin', (creepin' creepin')
They must be aware,
If they think I'm there, it's a very scary feelin'!
Lyin' in their beds,
Running through their heads,
Is one thought-what is he stealin'?
I'm on the outside lookin' in,
But I like it this way.
Here on the outside lookin' in,
I see the games that they play.
I'm on the outside lookin' in,
But I don't really care.
Here in the outside lookin' in,
'Long as I get my share.
You know that I'll take my share…
I can hear then tell
I'm a hound of hell,
As they get the smell of danger.
As I'm coming near
I can taste their fear
Of the dark and deadly stranger.
They know who I am
I don't give a damn,
I could lead ev'ry lamb to the slaughter.
So be on your guard
For my calling card,
And be sure, to lock up your daughters.
They keep us outside lookin' in,
My sister and me.
And if we're outside lookin' in,
That's the way it will be.
We're on the outside lookin' in,
But we don't really care.
Here on the outside lookin' in,
'Long as we get our share,
You know that we'll take our share.
We're on the outside lookin' in,
We're on the outside lookin' in,
We're on the outside lookin' in.
When You Are 18 lyrics - Celtic Thunder
When you are eighteen,
You're a man who is ready,
Who is strong and who's steady,
You know what I mean?
When you are eighteen,
Then you should be respected,
And you don't need protected,
When you are eighteen.
When you are eighteen,
You are braver and bolder
Than that crowd who are older,
You know what I mean?
'Cos when you are eighteen,
With all those years to prepare you,
There's nothing can scare you,
When you are eighteen.
I'm ready to travel,
To follow my star
To the places I've been dreaming of.
I'm ready for living;
I'm ready for life
And I know that I'm ready for love…
But when you are eighteen
They say "Love's complicated
And so over-rated",
You know what I mean?
When you are eighteen,
They say "Wait, and don't worry",
And "Hey! What's your hurry
'Cos you're only eighteen".
I'm ready to travel,
To follow my star
To the places I've been dreaming of.
I'm ready for living;
I'm ready for life
And I know that I'm ready for love…
When you are eighteen,
With the world all around you,
It can sometimes astound you,
You know what I mean?
Just how little they know, ha,
All those cowboys and chancers,
I've got more of the answers….
And I'm only eighteen.
You're a man who is ready,
Who is strong and who's steady,
You know what I mean?
When you are eighteen,
Then you should be respected,
And you don't need protected,
When you are eighteen.
When you are eighteen,
You are braver and bolder
Than that crowd who are older,
You know what I mean?
'Cos when you are eighteen,
With all those years to prepare you,
There's nothing can scare you,
When you are eighteen.
I'm ready to travel,
To follow my star
To the places I've been dreaming of.
I'm ready for living;
I'm ready for life
And I know that I'm ready for love…
But when you are eighteen
They say "Love's complicated
And so over-rated",
You know what I mean?
When you are eighteen,
They say "Wait, and don't worry",
And "Hey! What's your hurry
'Cos you're only eighteen".
I'm ready to travel,
To follow my star
To the places I've been dreaming of.
I'm ready for living;
I'm ready for life
And I know that I'm ready for love…
When you are eighteen,
With the world all around you,
It can sometimes astound you,
You know what I mean?
Just how little they know, ha,
All those cowboys and chancers,
I've got more of the answers….
And I'm only eighteen.
Life In The Old Dog Yet lyrics - Celtic Thunder
In my time I've been a few places,
And I've many a story to tell.
Here I am still as strong
As I've been all along,
I'm not ready for heaven or hell.
There are people who do need reminding,
That I'm still the boss around here.
I still call every shot,
And I'll tell you what's what,
And what's not, do I make myself clear.
I'm not ready to roll over
I'm still, the daddy of the all,
I'm still the top banana,
They still answer when I call.
I'm older, yes, but I'm wiser,
And they better not forget,
I'm not ready to roll over
'Cos there's life in the old dog yet.
You can't put an old head on young shoulders
My advice is the best I can give
Let them make their mistakes;
Let them fight for their rights;
Let them learn how to love and to live.
I've only got the one daughter,
Time she married a man of her own,
And the one I have planned
Has got plenty of land,
She'll be grand, and I'll stand all alone.
I'm not ready to roll over
I'm still, the daddy of the all,
I'm still the top banana,
They still answer when I call.
I'm older, yes, but I'm wiser,
And they better not forget,
I'm not ready to roll over
'Cos there's life in the old dog yet.
I'm not ready to roll over
I'm still, the daddy of the all,
I'm still the top banana,
They still answer when I call.
I'm older, yes, but I'm wiser,
And they better not forget,
I'm not ready to roll over
'Cos there's life in the old dog yet.
'Cos there's life in this old dog yet.
And I've many a story to tell.
Here I am still as strong
As I've been all along,
I'm not ready for heaven or hell.
There are people who do need reminding,
That I'm still the boss around here.
I still call every shot,
And I'll tell you what's what,
And what's not, do I make myself clear.
I'm not ready to roll over
I'm still, the daddy of the all,
I'm still the top banana,
They still answer when I call.
I'm older, yes, but I'm wiser,
And they better not forget,
I'm not ready to roll over
'Cos there's life in the old dog yet.
You can't put an old head on young shoulders
My advice is the best I can give
Let them make their mistakes;
Let them fight for their rights;
Let them learn how to love and to live.
I've only got the one daughter,
Time she married a man of her own,
And the one I have planned
Has got plenty of land,
She'll be grand, and I'll stand all alone.
I'm not ready to roll over
I'm still, the daddy of the all,
I'm still the top banana,
They still answer when I call.
I'm older, yes, but I'm wiser,
And they better not forget,
I'm not ready to roll over
'Cos there's life in the old dog yet.
I'm not ready to roll over
I'm still, the daddy of the all,
I'm still the top banana,
They still answer when I call.
I'm older, yes, but I'm wiser,
And they better not forget,
I'm not ready to roll over
'Cos there's life in the old dog yet.
'Cos there's life in this old dog yet.
Not The One lyrics - Celtic Thunder
She is young, and oh! So pretty,
With a twinkle in her eyes
And just the kind of features
To make a young man sigh.
She is sweet and she is sunny,
Just like a morn in May,
She's just the kind of creature
Who could steal your heart away…
But…
She's not the one that's meant for me,
The one that Heaven-sent for me.
I know, although I haven't found her yet,
She's not the one, she's not the one
She's not the one that I'll care for,
The one I'll always be there for.
Don't ask the why or the wherefore…
I know…
She's not the one, she's not the one
Can her smile light up the morning?
Can her laughter lift the night?
Can she hold you when you're troubled,
And make everything alright?
Can she fill each waking moment?
Who knows? Perhaps she can,
And yes, I realize
She'd be a prize for any man
But…
She's not the one that's meant for me,
The one that Heaven-sent for me.
I know, although I haven't found her yet,
She's not the one, she's not the one
She's not the one that I'll care for,
The one I'll always be there for.
Don't ask the why or the wherefore…
I know…
She's not the one,
she's not the one.
Don't ask the why or the wherefore…
I know…
She's not the one,
She's not the one for me
Stand And Deliver lyrics - Celtic Thunder
Look out! There's danger all about,
Can't you feel it in the air,
Look out! There's danger all about,
You had better beware.
Ooh, ooh. Under darkening skies,
Ohh, ooh. There's a full moon on the rise.
Look out! There's a Highwayman about,
No traveler is safe on the road.
Look out! And never be in doubt,
This night is about to explode.
Ooh, ooh. From the shadows he's suddenly there,
Ooh, ooh. Then you will hear him declare.
Stand and Deliver!
I'll take your money or your life.
Stand and Deliver!
And tonight, I just might
Take your wife!
Hahahaha!
Look out! A coach has been surprised
Crossing Branagan's Moor.
No doubt, the gold that's been excised
Will be given to the poor!
Ooh, ooh. For the poor are being squeezed everyday,
My fine friend's, give it up, now it's your turn to pay.
Stand and Deliver!
I'll take your money or your life.
Stand and Deliver!
And tonight, I just might
Take your wife!
Hahahaha!
Look out! The gentry and the rich,
For I have taken an oath.
Look out! No matter which is which,
I will steal from you both!
Ooh, ooh. Who will stand up for the weak.
Ooh,ooh. Yes, mine is the voice that will speak.
Stand and Deliver!
I'll take your money or your life.
Stand and Deliver!
And tonight, I just might
Take your wife!
Stand and Deliver!
I'll take your money or your life.
Stand and Deliver!
Stand and Deliver!
I'll take your money or your life.
Stand and Deliver!
And tonight, I just might
Take your wife!
The Highwayman lyrics - Celtic Thunder
Who is this stranger
Who breaks ev'ry rule?
The Hightwayman.
He isn't a rogue, and he isn't a fool.
The Highwayman.
He is dashing and daring
The devil may care
The Highwayman.
With a glint in his eye,
And the wind in his hair
The Highwayman.
Who is the Highwayman?
Who is the Highwayman?
He's rough, but he's handsome,
He's gentle but strong,
The Highwayman.
They say he's a nobleman
Who has gone wrong,
The Highwayman.
He'll take all your jewels,
But do it with style,
The Highwayman.
As he pockets your diamonds
He'll flash you a smile,
The Highwayman.
Who is the Highwayman?
Who is the Highwayman?
I've never known anyone like him,
He's like no one that I've ever met.
How easy he'll be to remember
How hard he will be to forget.
He's stolen for Princes,
He's stolen form Earls,
The Highwayman.
But his greatest pleasure
Is stealing from girls,
The Highwayman.
You'll feel empty inside
When you see him depart,
The Highwayman.
You may not realize
But he's stolen your heart,
The Highwayman.
Who is the Highwayman?
Who is the Highwayman?
Who breaks ev'ry rule?
The Hightwayman.
He isn't a rogue, and he isn't a fool.
The Highwayman.
He is dashing and daring
The devil may care
The Highwayman.
With a glint in his eye,
And the wind in his hair
The Highwayman.
Who is the Highwayman?
Who is the Highwayman?
He's rough, but he's handsome,
He's gentle but strong,
The Highwayman.
They say he's a nobleman
Who has gone wrong,
The Highwayman.
He'll take all your jewels,
But do it with style,
The Highwayman.
As he pockets your diamonds
He'll flash you a smile,
The Highwayman.
Who is the Highwayman?
Who is the Highwayman?
I've never known anyone like him,
He's like no one that I've ever met.
How easy he'll be to remember
How hard he will be to forget.
He's stolen for Princes,
He's stolen form Earls,
The Highwayman.
But his greatest pleasure
Is stealing from girls,
The Highwayman.
You'll feel empty inside
When you see him depart,
The Highwayman.
You may not realize
But he's stolen your heart,
The Highwayman.
Who is the Highwayman?
Who is the Highwayman?
Lagan Love lyrics - Celtic Thunder
Love, my Lagan love,
My Lagan love.
Where Lagan stream sing lullaby,
There blows a lily fair.
The twilight gleam is in her eye,
The night is on her hair.
And like a love-sick lennan-shee
She hath my heart in thrall
No life have I, no liberty
For love is lord of all
My Lagan love.
And sometimes when the beetles horn
Hath lulled the eve to sleep
I steal unto her shieling low
And through her dooreen peep
There on the cricket's singing stone
She stirs the bog wood fire
And hums in soft sweet undertones
The song of heart's desire
The song of heart's desire
Midnight Well lyrics - Celtic Thunder
In the town, the people stay away
From the midnight well
For it's dark and evil, so they say
The midnight well
They'll tell you a tale of a lovely young maid
The fairest that they'd ever known
What a beauty, they say
But she went her own way
On that night, she set out on her own
For they say, she had a rendez-vous
At the midnight well
With a gypsy man she barely knew
At the midnight well
Nobody knew where he came from
But they remember the fire in his eyes
His earring of gold
And his hair black as coal
And a look that could just hypnotize
When he said
Come away, come away with me
Come here and lay with me
Come away out of the light
Come away, come away
Come and ride with me into the night
Never more, they never saw her face
At the midnight well
She was gone, and never left a trace
At the midnight well
They say when the summer nights come to an end
The harvest moon glows in the sky
A black horse will appear and a sound you will hear
As the ghost of a gypsy flies by
And he says
Come away, come away with me
Come here and lay with me
Come away out of the light
Come away, come away
Come and ride with me into the night
Come away, come away with me
Come here and lay with me
Come away out of the light
Come away, come away
Come and ride with me into the night
Come away, come away with me
Come here and lay with me
Come away out of the light
Come away, come away
Come and ride with me into the night
From the midnight well
For it's dark and evil, so they say
The midnight well
They'll tell you a tale of a lovely young maid
The fairest that they'd ever known
What a beauty, they say
But she went her own way
On that night, she set out on her own
For they say, she had a rendez-vous
At the midnight well
With a gypsy man she barely knew
At the midnight well
Nobody knew where he came from
But they remember the fire in his eyes
His earring of gold
And his hair black as coal
And a look that could just hypnotize
When he said
Come away, come away with me
Come here and lay with me
Come away out of the light
Come away, come away
Come and ride with me into the night
Never more, they never saw her face
At the midnight well
She was gone, and never left a trace
At the midnight well
They say when the summer nights come to an end
The harvest moon glows in the sky
A black horse will appear and a sound you will hear
As the ghost of a gypsy flies by
And he says
Come away, come away with me
Come here and lay with me
Come away out of the light
Come away, come away
Come and ride with me into the night
Come away, come away with me
Come here and lay with me
Come away out of the light
Come away, come away
Come and ride with me into the night
Come away, come away with me
Come here and lay with me
Come away out of the light
Come away, come away
Come and ride with me into the night

Tender Is The Night lyrics - Celtic Thunder
Lonely is the night,
When you're dreaming all alone.
Dreaming of the one,
The one that you can call your own.
But now at last, I've found
The love that I've been searching for,
And ev'rything feels right,
When you hold me tight,
Tender is the night.
After all this time,
After all the loneliness,
Yearning for your touch,
Yearning for your tenderness.
Now at last I've found
The magic of your sweet caress,
And ev'rything feels right,
When you hold me tight,
Tender is the night.
You have mad my spirit whole,
And you have touched my very soul
Your love just shook me to the core,
Opened ev'ry door,
Made me cry for more…..
I believe in love,
Just as I believe in you,
And in the Power above
To make our ev'ry dream come true.
And I believe that we
Will love until eternity,
The future seems so bright,
When you hold me tight,
Tender is the night.
You have mad my spirit whole,
And you have touched my very soul
Your love just shook me to the core,
Opened ev'ry door,
Made me cry for more…..
I believe in love,
Just as I believe in you,
And in the Power above
To make our ev'ry dream come true.
And I believe that we
Will love until eternity,
The future seems so bright,
When you hold me tight,
Tender is the night.
When you're dreaming all alone.
Dreaming of the one,
The one that you can call your own.
But now at last, I've found
The love that I've been searching for,
And ev'rything feels right,
When you hold me tight,
Tender is the night.

Yearning for your tenderness.

And you have touched my very soul
Your love just shook me to the core,

This Was My Life lyrics - Celtic Thunder
I have loved, and I have lived
And I have had my wild romances
I've taken all that life can give
And taken my fair share of chances
It's been a good life
Far from the high life
And I thank God that this is my life
I've known just how it is to win
And I have felt the pain of losing
Some paths I chose would end in tears
But they were all of my own choosing
It's been a good life
Far from the high life
And I thank God that this is my life
I've known contentment
In a woman's arms
And felt the warmth of her devotion
And I've known heartache
And a dark despair
That was as deep as any ocean
But, we get the strength to carry on
And build a life of our own making
We thank the Lord for each new day
And for every breath that we are taking
It's a good life
Far from the high life
And I thank God that this was my life
I've known contentment
In a woman's arms
And felt the warmth of her devotion
And I've known heartache
And a dark despair
That was as deep as any ocean
And looking back on all the years
The loves, the sweetness, and the sorrow
Have made me what I am today
And I'd do it all again tomorrow
It's been a good life
Far from the high life
And I thank God that this was my life
We can't deny life
How it flies by, life
And I thank God that this was my life
And I have had my wild romances
I've taken all that life can give
And taken my fair share of chances
It's been a good life
Far from the high life
And I thank God that this is my life
I've known just how it is to win
And I have felt the pain of losing
Some paths I chose would end in tears
But they were all of my own choosing
It's been a good life
Far from the high life
And I thank God that this is my life
I've known contentment
In a woman's arms
And felt the warmth of her devotion
And I've known heartache
And a dark despair
That was as deep as any ocean
But, we get the strength to carry on
And build a life of our own making
We thank the Lord for each new day
And for every breath that we are taking
It's a good life
Far from the high life
And I thank God that this was my life
I've known contentment
In a woman's arms
And felt the warmth of her devotion
And I've known heartache
And a dark despair
That was as deep as any ocean
And looking back on all the years
The loves, the sweetness, and the sorrow
Have made me what I am today
And I'd do it all again tomorrow
It's been a good life
Far from the high life
And I thank God that this was my life
We can't deny life
How it flies by, life
And I thank God that this was my life
Look At Me lyrics - Celtic Thunder
[Damian:]
Look at me
I'm cool and I'm charming
Debonair and disarming
That's me to a T
Take a look at me
Don't need no fandangos
I got all of the angles
Just look at me
[Damian:]
Look at me
[Keith:]
Look at you
[Damian: ]
I ain't no beginner
a natural winner
That's me to a T
[Damian:]
Take a look at me
[Keith:]
Take a look at you
[Damian:]
I can sing acappella
I'm a hell of a fella
Just look at me
[Keith:]
You know nothin' at all about ladies
Let me give you a piece of advice
You're headin' for nothin' but trouble
You'll be paying a hell of a price
'Cos you think you're a bit of a killer
That the ladies will fall at your feet "Ha"
They could eat you for supper
And spit you right out on the street
[Damian:]
Look at me
[Keith:]
Look at you
[Damian: ]
Your resistance will crumble
Get ready to rumble 1, 2, 3!
[Damian:]
Take a look at me
[Keith:]
Look at you
[Damian:]
I'm as fit as a fiddle
So let's hide it a little
Just you and me
[Keith:]
It's a very bad time to be cocky
When your out there on the pull
Hold your horse like a jockey
And don't rush in like a bull
You have to be patient with ladies
And tell them what they want to here
Keep a steady aim on your target
Don't shoot like a young pistoler
[Keith:]
Take a good look at yourself
For goodness sake
All the ladies are laughin'
Ask yourself why
Take a good look at yourself
And you will see
A natural loser
Take it from me
[Damian:]
Look at me
I ain't no beginner
A natural winner
That's me to a T
Take a look at me
I can sing acappella
I'm a hell of a fella
Just look at me
[Damian & Keith repeat what they just sang at the same time]
[Keith:]
A natural loser
Take it from me
[Damian:]
I'm a hell of a fella
Look at me
Hail The Hero (Mo Ghile Mear) lyrics - Celtic Thunder
[Chant continues throughout:]
O-ro, ri na bhfarraige
Ri na bhfarraige
O-ro
O-ro, ri na bhfarraige
Ri na bhfarraige
O-ro
Sé mo laoch mo Ghile Mear
Sé mo Cheasar, Ghile Mear,
Suan ná séan ní bhfuair me féin
Ó chuaidh I gcéin mo Ghile Mear
O-ro, ri na bhfarraige
Ri na bhfarraige
O-ro
Hail the hero, strong and true
Who fought the fight and saw it through
Who swore he ne'er would be a slave
And gave his life, our land to save
Sé mo laoch mo Ghile Mear
Sé mo Cheasar, Ghile Mear,
Suan ná séan ní bhfuair me féin
Ó chuaidh I gcéin mo Ghile Mear
O-ro, ri na bhfarraige
Ri na bhfarraige
O-ro
O-ro, ri na bhfarraige
Ri na bhfarraige
O-ro
From our wild Atlantic shore
Above the mighty ocean's roar
Let's sing from the highest mountainside
Of heroes who fill our hearts with pride
Sé mo laoch mo Ghile Mear
Sé mo Cheasar, Ghile Mear,
Suan ná séan ní bhfuair me féin
Ó chuaidh I gcéin mo Ghile Mear
O-ro, ri na bhfarraige
Ri na bhfarraige
O-ro
Sé mo laoch mo Ghile Mear
Sé mo Cheasar, Ghile Mear,
Suan ná séan ní bhfuair me féin
Ó chuaidh I gcéin mo Ghile Mear
O-ro, ri na bhfarraige
Ri na bhfarraige
O-ro
O-ro, ri na bhfarraige
Ri na bhfarraige
O-ro
Sé mo laoch mo Ghile Mear
Sé mo Cheasar, Ghile Mear,
Suan ná séan ní bhfuair me féin
Ó chuaidh I gcéin mo Ghile Mear
O-ro, ri na bhfarraige
Ri na bhfarraige
O-ro
Hail the hero, strong and true
Who fought the fight and saw it through
Who swore he ne'er would be a slave
And gave his life, our land to save
Sé mo laoch mo Ghile Mear
Sé mo Cheasar, Ghile Mear,
Suan ná séan ní bhfuair me féin
Ó chuaidh I gcéin mo Ghile Mear
O-ro, ri na bhfarraige
Ri na bhfarraige

O-ro, ri na bhfarraige
Ri na bhfarraige

From our wild Atlantic shore
Above the mighty ocean's roar
Let's sing from the highest mountainside
Of heroes who fill our hearts with pride

The Dutchman lyrics - Celtic Thunder
The Dutchman's not the kind of man
Who keeps his thumb jammed in the dam
That holds his dreams in,
But that's a secret that only Margaret knows.
When Amsterdam is golden in the summer,
Margaret brings him breakfast,
She believes him.
He thinks the tulips bloom beneath the snow.
He's mad as he can be, but Margaret only sees that sometimes,
Sometimes she sees her unborn children in his eyes.
Let us go to the banks of the ocean
Where the walls rise above the Zuider Zee.
Long ago, I used to be a young man
And dear Margaret remembers that for me.
The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes,
His cap and coat are patched with the love
That Margaret sewed there.
Sometimes he thinks he's still in Rotterdam.
And he watches the tug-boats down canals
An' calls out to them when he thinks he knows the Captain.
Till Margaret comes
To take him home again
Through unforgiving streets that trip him, though she holds his arm,
Sometimes he thinks he's alone and he calls her name.
Let us go to the banks of the ocean
Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee.
Long ago, I used to be a young man
And dear Margaret remembers that for me.
The winters whirl the windmills 'round
She winds his muffler tighter
And they sit in the kitchen.
Some tea with whiskey keeps away the dew.
And he sees her for a moment, calls her name,
She makes the bed up singing some old love song,
A song Margaret learned
When it was very new.
He hums a line or two, they sing together in the dark.
The Dutchman falls asleep and Margaret blows the candle out.
Let us go to the banks of the ocean
Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee.
Long ago, I used to be a young man
And dear Margaret remembers that for me.

But that's a secret that only Margaret knows.

Buachaill Ón Eirne lyrics - Celtic Thunder
Buachaill o'n Eirne me 's bhreagfainn calin deas og
Ni iarrfainn bo spre lei ta me fhein saibhir go leor
'S liom Corcaigh da mheid e dha thaobh a' ghleanna 's Tir Eoghain
'S mura n-athrai me beasai 's me n' t-oidhr' ar Chontae Mhaigh Eo
Come by the hills to the land where fancy is free
And stand where the peaks meet the sky and the lochs meet the sea
Where the rivers run clear and the bracken is gold in the sun
And the cares of tomorrow can wait 'til this day is done
Come by the hills to the land where life is a song
And stand where the birds fill the air with their joy all day long
Where the trees sway in time and even the wind sings in tune
And the cares of tomorrow can wait 'til this day is done
Come by the hills to the land where legends remain
And the stories of old fill the heart and may yet come again
Where the past has been lost and the future is still to be won
And the cares of tomorrow can wait 'til this day is done
Ni iarrfainn bo spre lei ta me fhein saibhir go leor
'S liom Corcaigh da mheid e dha thaobh a' ghleanna 's Tir Eoghain
'S mura n-athrai me beasai 's me n' t-oidhr' ar Chontae Mhaigh Eo
Come by the hills to the land where fancy is free
And stand where the peaks meet the sky and the lochs meet the sea
Where the rivers run clear and the bracken is gold in the sun
And the cares of tomorrow can wait 'til this day is done
Come by the hills to the land where life is a song
And stand where the birds fill the air with their joy all day long
Where the trees sway in time and even the wind sings in tune
And the cares of tomorrow can wait 'til this day is done
Come by the hills to the land where legends remain
And the stories of old fill the heart and may yet come again
Where the past has been lost and the future is still to be won
And the cares of tomorrow can wait 'til this day is done
Black Is The Color lyrics - Celtic Thunder
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She's the sweetest face and the gentlest hands.
I love the ground whereon she stands
I love my love and well she knows
I love the ground whereon she goes.
But some times I wish the day will come
That she and I will be as one
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She's the sweetest face and the gentlest hands.
I love the ground whereon she stands
I walk to the Clyde for to mourn and weep
But satisfied I never can sleep
I'll write her a letter, just a few short lines
And suffer death ten thousand times
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She's the sweetest face and the gentlest hands.
I love the ground whereon she stands
Her lips are like some roses fair
She's the sweetest face and the gentlest hands.
I love the ground whereon she stands
I love my love and well she knows
I love the ground whereon she goes.
But some times I wish the day will come
That she and I will be as one
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She's the sweetest face and the gentlest hands.
I love the ground whereon she stands
I walk to the Clyde for to mourn and weep
But satisfied I never can sleep
I'll write her a letter, just a few short lines
And suffer death ten thousand times
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She's the sweetest face and the gentlest hands.
I love the ground whereon she stands
My Love Is Like A Red Red Rose lyrics - Celtic Thunder
Oh, my love is like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June
Oh, my love is like a melody
That's sweetly played in tune
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till all the seas gang dry.
Till all the seas gang dry, my dear,
Till all the seas gang dry
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till all the seas gang dry.
'Til all the seas gang dry my, my dear
And the rocks melt with the sun
And I will love thee still, my dear
While the sands of life shall run
But faretheewell, my only love
Oh, faretheewell a while
And I will come again, my love
Tho' 't were ten thousand mile
Tho' 't were ten thousand mile, my love
Tho' 't were ten thousand mile
And I will come again, my love
Tho' 't were ten thousand mile.
That's newly sprung in June
Oh, my love is like a melody
That's sweetly played in tune
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till all the seas gang dry.
Till all the seas gang dry, my dear,
Till all the seas gang dry
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till all the seas gang dry.
'Til all the seas gang dry my, my dear
And the rocks melt with the sun
And I will love thee still, my dear
While the sands of life shall run
But faretheewell, my only love
Oh, faretheewell a while
And I will come again, my love
Tho' 't were ten thousand mile
Tho' 't were ten thousand mile, my love
Tho' 't were ten thousand mile
And I will come again, my love
Tho' 't were ten thousand mile.
