She Moved Through The Fair lyrics - Celtic Thunder

My young love said to me, 'My mother won't mind,

And my father won't slight you for your lack of kine,'

She went away from me and this she did say,

'It will not be long, love, till our wedding day.'

She went away from me and she moved through the fair,

And slowly I watched her move here and move there,

She went his way homeward with one star awake,

As the swan in the evening moves over the lake.

The people were saying no two were e'er wed

But one has a sorrow that never was said,

And I smiled as she passed with her goods and her gear,

And that was the last that I saw of my dear.

I dreamt last night that my young love came in,

She came in so sweetly, her feet made no din;

She stepped up beside me, and this she did say,

'It will not be long love, till our wedding day.

Carolina Rua lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Stories never end ’til you come to conclusion

Mo Carolina Rua has a hand in my confusion.

She waits for me to choose which quarter to bend in.

To susie-make-me-blue, or the redhead I’m attending.

Now Carolina Rua has my heart and all I want to do

Is go down the winding road where my Carolina goes:

Down the crooked road where Carolina goes to

Mo Carolina Rua, do you love me?

Tell me true, Carolina ooh oh ooh oh

Standing on three queens, I thought the game was over.

Then, out from the blue, Carolina’s at my shoulder:

with laughter in her eyes and a smile that touches all the guys

On down the winding road where my Carolina goes:

Down the crooked road where Carolina goes to

Mo Carolina Rua, do you love me?

Tell me true, Carolina ooh oh ooh oh

Mo Carolina Rua has my heart and all I want to do

Is go down the winding road where my Carolina goes:

Down the crooked road where Carolina goes to ,

Mo Carolina Rua, do you love me?

Tell me true, Tell me true.

Mo Carolina Rua

Katie lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Tumbling curls of green by the stained glass streaming light

And a yellow coloured lampshade used to keep us up all night

The smile upon your face, the tears upon your cheek

And the night sky on the window

Your heart calling out to me.

Come running home again, Katie

Come running home again

Cross my heart and hope to die

Shall I cause another tear from your eye

The mirror that won't talk and your nightgown on the door

And the old pedal Singer just don't sing no more

You can roll the reels for hours

From the movie of this book

It's a question mark on this heart of mine

sends an elder back to look.

Come running home again, Katie

Come running home again

Cross my heart and hope to die

Shall I cause another tear from your eye

Now I'm looking through a tunnel back into the room

With the genius of a Druid when the sunlight floods the tomb

And I'm never going back there I couldn't anyway

And though I made the great escape

I never got away

Come running home again, Katie

Come running home again

Cross my heart and hope to die

Shall I cause another tear from your eye

Come running home again, Katie

Come running home again

Cross my heart and hope to die

Shall I cause another tear from your eye

Turning Away lyrics - Celtic Thunder

In darkness we do what we can...

In daylight we're oblivion...

Here...

On the water we have walked

Like the fearless child

What was fastened we've unlocked

Revealing wondrous wild

And in search of confirmation

We have jumped into the fire

And scrambled with our burning feet

Through uncontrolled desire

In darkness we do what we can

In daylight we're oblivion

Our hearts so raw and clear

Are turning away, turning away from here

There's a well upon the hill

From our ancient past

Where an age is standing

Still holding strong and fast

And there's those that try to tame it

And to carve it into stone

Ah but words cannot extinguish it

However hard they're thrown

In darkness we do what we can

In daylight we're oblivion

Our hearts so raw and clear

Are turning away, turning away from here

By Loch Etive they have worked

With their highland dreams

By Kilcrennan they have nourished

In the mountain streams.

And in searching for acceptance

They had given it away

Only the children of our children know

The price they had to pay

In darkness we do what we can

In daylight we're oblivion

Our hearts so raw and clear

Are turning away, turning away from here

In darkness we do what we can

In daylight we're oblivion

Our hearts so raw and clear

Are turning away, turning away from here

And in darkness we do what we can

In daylight we're oblivion

Our hearts so raw and clear

Are turning away, turning away from here

Are turning away, turning away from here

Tears Of Hercules lyrics - Celtic Thunder

So it goes, history shows, deserts must expand

Camels sail like wooden ships, like women down the strand

There's sand on second avenue and the wind blows like a train

Taxis line up like a string of pearls, around the block again

I remember everything and every window pane

Every word came back to me the way it used to be

Then I saw your face across the street

Through the tears of Hercules

You said love wrecks everything and none of us survive

But I got over you last night and I am still alive

Till I saw your face across the street

Through the tears of Hercules

You said love wrecks everything and none of us survive

But I got over you last night and I am still alive

Till I saw your face across the street

Through the tears of Hercules

My Land lyrics - Celtic Thunder

How green are your valleys, how blue your great skies,

Your mountains stand tall in their glory:

Your rivers run free - the bright stars are your eyes,

Your beauty is endless before me.

[Chorus:]

Oh, you are the song ever singing in me,

And you are the heart ever true:

For, you are my land and you always will be,

The voice ever calling me… home to you.

When times we are far from your forests and streams,

When sailing from your shining waters:

We carry your hopes - your spirit, your dreams-

In the hearts of your sons and your daughters.

[Chorus]

When to your green valleys some day I return,

When you lay your mantle around me:

At rest I will be where the heart will not yearn,

With my land to ever…surround me.

[Chorus]

The voice ever calling me…home to you.

Galileo lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Galileo fell in love as a Galilean boy,

And he wondered what in heaven who invented such a joy.

But the question got the better of his scientific mind,

And to his blind and dying gaze,

He looked up high and often sighed,

And sometimes cried,

Who puts the rainbow in the sky?

Who lights the stars at night?

Who dreamt up someone so divine?

Someone like you and made them mine?

Love can make you ask some funny questions now and then.

But just remember the alternatives for I remember when

I was lonely and unhappy,

And my lips were cold as ice.

But you kissed me, and good heavens,

Now I'm here in paradise,

So if ever I'm not kissing you or looking in your eyes.

I won't be blind, and I won't cry.

I'll look up high and gladly sigh,

And thank the guy,

Who puts the rainbow in the sky?

Who lights the stars at night?

Who dreamt up someone so divine?

Someone like you and made them mine?

Someone like you and made them mine?

The Lonesome Boatman And Reels lyrics - Celtic Thunder

(Instrumental)

The Streets Of New York lyrics - Celtic Thunder

I was 18yrs old when I went down to Dublin

With a fistful of money and a cartload of dreams

"Take your time" said me father

Stop rushing like hell and remember all’s not what it seems to be

For there's fellas would cut ye for the coat on yer back

Or the watch that you got from your mother

So take care me young bucko

And mind yourself well and will ya give this wee note to me brother

At the time Uncle Benjy was a policeman in Brooklyn

And me father the youngest, looked after the farm

When a phone-call from America said

'Send the lad over'

And the oul’ fella said 'Sure wouldn't do any harm'

For I've spent me life working this dirty old ground

For a few pints of porter and the smell of a pound

And sure maybe there's something you'll learn or you'll see

And you can bring it back home make it easy on me

So I landed in Kennedy and a big yellow taxi

Carried me and me bags through the streets and the rain

Well me poor heart was thumpin’ around with excitement

And I hardly even heard what the driver was sayin’

We came in the Shore Parkway through the flatlands of Brooklyn

To me Uncle's apartment on East 53rd

I was feeling so happy I was humming a song

And I sang "You're as free as a bird"

Well to shorten the story what I found out that day

Was that Benjy got shot down in an uptown foray

And while I was flying my way to New York

Poor Benjy was lying in a cold city morgue.

Well I phoned up the old fella told him the news

I could tell he could hardly stand up in his shoes and he wept as he told me

'Go ahead with the plans

Never forget be a proud Irishman

So I went to Nellies beside Fordham road

And I started to learn about lifting the load

But the heaviest thing that I carried that year

Was the bittersweet thought of my hometown so dear

I went home that December 'cause the oul’ fella died,

Had to borrow some money from Phil on the side

And all the bright flowers and brass couldn't hide

The poor wasted face of my father

I sold up the oul’ farmyard for what it was worth

And into my bag stuck a handful of earth

Then I caught me a train and I boarded a plane

And I found myself back in the US again

It's been 22yrs since I've set foot in Dublin

Me kids know to use the correct knife and fork

But I'll never forget the green grass and the rivers

As I keep law and order on the streets of New York.

Rosa lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Now keep this promise

And never break it

I know you'll be back soon

How long's it this time

Another lifetime

All I want is to be with you

So hold me in your arms

Don't let go, take me with you...

When will you come back to me

I'm falling for you now

I'm falling for you now

I'm Gonna catch the world for you

Wrap it up, it's all for you

I've fallng for you now

I'm making my way back home

Just to see your face

Rosa, Rosa

Now don't you worry

I never left you

I am the angel by your side

We've made this promise

We'll never break it

Your in my heart

Your always on my mind

So hold me in your arms

Don't let go, take me with you

When will you come back to me

I'm Falling for you now

You know I'm falling for you now

I'm gonna catch the world for you

And wrap it up, it's all for you

I'm falling for you now

I'm making my way back home

Just to see your face

Rosa, Rosa, Rosa, Rosa

Now don't you worry

I've never left you

Life With You lyrics - Celtic Thunder

When I was a younger man

When I was a silly boy

I didn't need a thing,

I was strong as anything,

I viewed solitude as a joy

But since I met you I'm distraught

You wandered in and now I'm caught

I never thought I would see

Someone so truly good

Some one who's so everything I'm not

I want to spend my life with you

Don't want to live all alone

I can't conceive of the years left in me

Without you in our home

But what if, what if, what if what

If it's not perfect then it's not

But every care I'll take

Nothing I won't forsake

To dwell beside what you've got

Every time I think about you

I think I can't live with you

I'll tell you something

I am nothing without you

I want to spend my life with you

Don't want to live all alone

I can't conceive of the years left in me

Without you in our home

I want to spend my life with you

Don't want to live all alone

I can't conceive of the years left in me

Without you in our home [2x]

The Edge Of The Moon lyrics - Celtic Thunder

The Edge Of The Moon

She sings him a song

He loves to listen

He reads her a story

She plays a sweet tune

Chopin and Mozart she loves with her heart

Her guardian angel, looks down from the moon

He rings the bells nightly

She prays for their freedom

He stands at the pulpit

She stays in her room

Scarlatti and Haydn, she loves with her heart

Her guardian angel looks down from the moon

She prays for the vision

He hopes she won’t see it

She wishes for winter

He knows it won’t come

Summer and Autumn cry whisper the wind song

Her guardian angel looks down from the moon

He closes the curtains

She takes to her bed now

He waits in the doorway

She stays in her room

Beautiful music sweet songs filled with glory

Her guardian angel looks down from the moon

She waves her goodbye from, the edge of the moon

Always There lyrics - Celtic Thunder

When I'm less than I should be

And I just can't face the day

When darkness falls around me

And I just can't find my way

When my eyes don't clearly see

And I stumble through it all

You, I lean upon, you keep me strong

And you raise me when I fall

You are there when I most need you

You are there so constantly

You come shining through, you always do

You are always there for me

When life brings me to my knees

When my back's against the wall

You are standing there right with me

Just to keep me standing tall

Though a burden, I may be

You don't weary, you don't rest

You are reaching out to carry me

And I know I'm heaven blessed

You are there when I most need you

You are there so constantly

You come shining through, you always do

You are always there for me

You are there when I most need you

You are there so constantly

You come shining through, you always do

You are always there for me

There when I most need you

There so constantly

You come shining through, you always do

You are always there for me

You come shining through, you always do

You are always there for me

Perfect lyrics - Celtic Thunder

I don't want half-hearted love affairs

I need someone who really cares.

Life is too short to play silly games

I've promised myself I won't do that again.

It's got to be perfect,

It's got to be worth it. Yeah!

Too many people take second best

But I won't take anything less

It's got to be Mmmm!

Perfect.

Young hearts are foolish they make such mistakes

They're much too eager to give their love away.

Well I have been foolish too many times

But now I'm determined I'm gonna get it right.

It's got to be perfect,

It's got to be worth it. Yeah!

Too many people take second best

But I won't take anything less

It's got to be Mmmm!

Perfect.

Young hearts are foolish, they make such mistakes

They’re much too eager to give their love away

I have been foolish too many times

But I’m determined to get it right

It's got to be perfect

It's got to be worth it. Yeah!

Too many people take second best

But I won't take anything less

It's got to be Yeah!

Perfect.

It's got to be Yeah!

Perfect.

It's got to be Oooo!

Perfect.

I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow lyrics - Celtic Thunder

(In constant sorrow, all through his days.)

I am the man of constant sorrow

I've seen trouble all my days

I bid farewell to ol' Kentucky

The place where I was born and raised.

(The place where he was born and raised)

For six long years I've been in trouble,

no pleasure here on earth I've found

For in this world, I'm bound to ramble,

I have no friends to help me now.

(He has no friends to help him now)

It's fair thee well, my old true lover,

I ne’er expect to see you again.

For I'm bound to ride that Northern Railroad,

perhaps I'll die upon this train

(Perhaps he'll die upon this train)

You can bury me in some deep valley,

For many years where I may lay.

And you may learn to love another

while I am sleeping in my grave.

(While he is sleeping in his grave)

Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger

My face you’ll never see no more

But there is one promise that is given,

I'll meet you on Gods golden shore

(He'll meet you on God's golden shore)

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.”

As I went home on Wednesday night as drunk as drunk could be

I saw a pipe up on the chair where my old pipe should be

So I called his wife and I said to her: “Will you kindly tell to me

Who owns that pipe up on the chair where my old pipe should be?”

“Ah, you’re drunk,

You’re drunk, you silly old fool,

Still you can not see

That’s a lovely tin whistle that me mother sent to me.”

“It’s many a day I’ve travelled a hundred miles or more

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.”

“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.”

“But a baby boy with his whiskers on sure I never saw before.”

Summer In Dublin lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Take me away from the city and lead me to where I can be on my own,

I wanted to see you, and now that I have, I just want to be left alone,

I'll always remember your kind words, and I'll still remember your name,

But I've seen you changing and turning, and I know that things just won't be the same.

I remember that summer in Dublin, and the Liffey as it stank like hell,

And the young people walking on Grafton Street, and everyone looking so well,

I was singing a song I heard somewhere, called "Rock'n'Roll Never Forgets",

When my hummin' was smothered by a Forty Six ‘A’ and the scream of a low-flying jet.

So I'm leavin' on Wednesday morning tryin' to find a place where I can hear

The wind and the birds and the sea on the rocks, where open roads always are near,

And if sometimes I tire of the quiet, and I want to walk back up that hill,

I'll just get on the road and I’ll stick out my thumb.

‘Cause I know for sure you'll be there still.

I remember that summer in Dublin, and the Liffey as it stank like hell,

And the young people walking on Grafton Street, and everyone looking so well,

So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoire, stoppin' off to pick up my guitar,

And a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich. I was glad we weren't goin' too far.

And if sometimes I tire of the quiet, and I want to walk back up that hill,

I'll just get on the road and I’ll stick out my thumb.

‘Cause I know for sure you'll be there still.

The Grande Affaire lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Take a bus, who needs a car.

We'll eat here, close by the door.

I'm not very hungry now are you?

Is it ok, if I share yours with you?

I've got no money and I think, I believe that you knew.

Remember the moon, on the water how she'd shine?

The taste of the sheets, and the feel of the wine.

Wasn't I glad, that you were mine

In the Grande Affaire?

Take a boat, or maybe a plane,

Anywhere now except Greece or Spain.

For sure I know where I am,

I see canals, this is Amsterdam.

Friends here and they know, they can say who I am.

Remember the room without any view?

Frightened we'd meet, someone that we knew,

No farewells or how-do-you-dos

In the Grande Affaire.

Now I stay, at the best hotels,

And there's white coated waiters attend me,

And I look, at the beautiful girls,

Do they really believe they can win me?

I drive now, it's seldom I walk.

Speak French, but I'd rather not talk.

And which suit will I wear tonight?

Take out the brown, but in the end wear the white.

After shade stepping out, stepping into the light.

Remember the moon on the water how she'd shine,

The year was all wrong, so we sent back the wine,

And wasn't I glad that you were mine,

In the Grande Affaire?

The Sounds Of Silence lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Hello darkness, my old friend

I've come to talk with you again

Because a vision softly creeping

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains

Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone

Narrow streets of cobblestone

'Neath the halo of a street lamp

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

That split the night

And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw

Ten thousand people, maybe more

People talking without speaking

People hearing without listening

People writing songs that voices never share

And no one dared

Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools", said I, "You do not know

Silence like a cancer grows

Hear my words that I might teach you

Take my arms that I might reach you"

But my words, like silent raindrops fell

And echoed

In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon god they made

And the sign flashed out its warning

In the words that it was forming

And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

And tenement halls"

And whispered in the sounds of silence

The Thunder Rolls lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Three thirty in the morning

Not a soul in sight

The city's lookin' like a ghost town

On a moonless summer night

Raindrops on the windshield

There's a storm moving in

He's headin' back from somewhere

That he never should have been

And the thunder rolls

And the thunder rolls

Every light is burnin'

In a house across town

She's pacin' by the telephone

In her faded flannel gown

Askin' for miracle

Hopin' she's not right

Prayin' it's the weather

That's kept him out all night

And the thunder rolls

And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls

And the lightnin' strikes

Another love grows cold

On a sleepless night

As the storm blows on

Out of control

Deep in her heart

The thunder rolls

She's waitin' by the window

When he pulls into the drive

She rushes out to hold him

Thankful he's alive

But on the wind and the rain

A strange new perfume blows

And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes

And he knows that she knows

And the thunder rolls

And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls

And the lightnin' strikes

Another love grows cold

On a sleepless night

As the storm blows on

Out of control

Deep in her heart

The thunder rolls

The Boys Are Back In Town lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Guess who just got back today,

Them wild-eyed boys that'd been away,

Haven't changed, had much to say,

But man, I still think them cats are crazy.

They were askin' if you were around,

How you was, where you could be found.

Told them you were livin' downtown,

Drivin' all the old men crazy.

The boys are back in town, (the boys are back in town).

I said The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.

The boys are back in town, (the boys are back in town).

The boys are back in town, (the boys are back in town).

You know that chick that used to dance a lot,

Every night, she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she's got.

Man, when I tell ya she was cool, she was red hot.

I mean she was steamin'.

And that time over at Johnny's place,

Well, this chick, she got up and slapped Johnny's face,

Man, we just fell about the place,

If that chick don't wanna know, forget her.

The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.

I said The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.

The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.

The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.

Spread the word around guess who's back in town

You spread the word around

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill,

Down at Dino's bar and grill

The drink will flow, and blood will spill,

And if the boys wanna fight you better let 'em.

That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song,

The nights are gettin' warmer, it won't be long,

Won't be long 'til summer comes,

Now that the boys are here again.

The boys are back in town, (the boys are back in town).

The boys are back in town, (the boys are back in town).

The boys are back in town, (the boys are back in town).

Spread the word around

The boys are back in town, (the boys are back in town).

The boys are back, the boys are back.

The boys are back in town again

They're hangin' down at Dino's

The boys are back in town again!

To Where You Are lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Who can say for certain

Maybe you're still here

I feel you all around me

Your memory's so clear

Deep in the stillness

I can hear you speak

You're still an inspiration

Can it be

That you are mine

Forever love

And you are watching over me from up above

Fly me up to where you are

Beyond the distant star

I wish upon tonight

To see you smile

If only for awhile to know you're there

A breath away's not far

To where you are

Are you gently sleeping

Here inside my dream

And isn't faith believing

All power can't be seen

As my heart holds you

Just one beat away

I cherish all you gave me everyday

'Cause you are my

Forever love

Watching me from up above

And I believe

That angels breathe

And that love will live on and never leave

Fly me up

To where you are

Beyond the distant star

I wish upon tonight

To see you smile

If only for awhile

To know you're there

A breath away's not far

To where you are

I know you're there

A breath away's not far

To where you are

Danny Boy lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Oh, Danny boy

The pipes, the pipes are calling

From glen to glen and down the mountain side

The summer's gone

And all the roses falling

Tis you, tis you must go and I must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow

Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow

Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow

Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy I love you so

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow

Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow

Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow

Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy I love you so

Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy I love you so

Ride On lyrics - Celtic Thunder

True you ride the finest horse I've ever seen

Standing 16' one or two, with eyes wild and green

You ride the horse so well, hands light to the touch

I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to

Ride on, see you

I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to

Ride on, see you, I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to

When you ride into the night, without a trace behind

Run your claw along my gut, one last time

I turn to face an empty space, where you used to lie

I look for the spark that lights the night

Through a teardrop in your eye

Ride on, see you, I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to

Ride on, see you, I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to

Ride on, see you, I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to

Ride on, see you, I could never go with you no

matter how I wanted to

I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to

I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to

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

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.

Desperado lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?

You been out ridin' fences for so long now

Oh, you're a hard one

And I know that you've got your reasons

These things that are pleasin' you

Hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy

She'll beat you if she's able

You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, that some fine things

Have been laid upon your table

But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger

Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home

And freedom, oh freedom, that's just some people talkin'

Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?

The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine

It's hard to tell the night time from the day

Well you're losin' all your highs and lows

Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?

Come down from your fences, open the gate

It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you

You better let somebody love you,

You better let somebody love you, before it's too late

It's too late

Hallelujah lyrics - Celtic Thunder

(originally by Leonard Cohen)

Now I've heard there was a secret chord

That David played, and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do you?

It goes like this

The fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

She tied you to her kitchen chair

She broke your throne, and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above

But all I've ever learned from love

Was how to shoot somebody who out drew ya

It's not a cry that you hear at night

It's not someone who has seen the light

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah
