Fairytale Of New York lyrics - Celtic Thunder

It was Christmas Eve, babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me
Won’t see another one
And then he sang a song
The rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I’ve got a feeling
This year’s for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you, baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

They’ve got cars big as bars, they’ve got rivers of gold
But the wind blows right through, it’s no place for the old
When you first took my hand on a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome, you were pretty, Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing, they howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging, all the drunks they were singing
We kissed on the corner then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir were singing “Galway Bay”
And the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day

You’re a bum, you’re a punk, you’re an old crooked drunk
Lying there almost dead, on a drip in that bed
You scum bag, you maggot, you’re cheap and you’re haggard
Happy Christmas, me lass, I pray God, it’s our last

The boys of the NYPD choir were singing “Galway Bay”
And the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day

I could have been someone
Well, so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me, babe
I put them with my own
Can’t make it all alone
I’ve built my dreams around you

Na na na…

The boys of the NYPD choir were singing “Galway Bay”
And the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day
The boys of the NYPD choir were singing “Galway Bay”
And the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day

Comfort Ye lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Comfort ye
Comfort ye
My people

Comfort ye my people
Says your God
Says your God

Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem
Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem
And cry unto her
That her warfare
Her warfare is accomplished
That her iniquity is pardoned
That her iniquity is pardoned

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in golden days
Happy olden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years, we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Mary's Boy Child lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible said
Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a new king born today
And man will live forevermore, because of Christmas Day

While shepherds watched their flocks by night, they saw a bright new shining star
And heard a choir from heaven sing, the music came from afar
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a new king born today
And man will live forevermore, because of Christmas Day

Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, came to Bethlehem that night
They found no place to bear her child, not a single room was in sight
By night they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and ark, Mary’s little boy child was born

Trumpets sound and angels sing, listen to what they say
That man will live forevermore, because of Christmas Day
Trumpets sound and angels sing, listen to what they say
That man will live forevermore, because of Christmas Day
That man will live forevermore, because of Christmas Day

The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes al aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa’s on his way
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother’s child is going to spy
To see reindeer really know how to fly

And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

They know that Santa’s on his way
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother’s child is going to spy
To see reindeer really know how to fly

And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you

Oh Holy Night lyrics - Celtic Thunder

O holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks, a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when was Christ was born

Truly He taught us
To love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall he break
For the slave is our brother
And in his name all oppression shall cease

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name
Christ is the Lord
His name forever praise we
Noel, Noel
Oh night, oh night divine
Noel, Noel
Oh night, oh night divine

Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when was Christ was born

Oh night divine
Oh night, oh night divine

O Come All Ye Faithful lyrics - Celtic Thunder

Joyful and triumphant
O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him
Born the king of angels
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him

See how the shepherds
Summoned to His cradle
Leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze
We too will thither
Lend our joyful footsteps
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord

Sing, choirs of angels
Sing in exultation
Sing all ye citizens of heav’n above
Glory to God
Glory in the highest
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord

Hail, Lord, we greet Thee
Born this happy morning
Jesu, forever be Thy name adored
Son of the Father
Now in flesh appearing
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord

The Isle Of Innisfree lyrics - Celtic Thunder

I've met some folks
Who say that I'm a dreamer
And I've no doubt
There's truth in what they say
But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer
When all the things he loves are far away

And precious things
Are dreams unto an exile
They take him o'er
The land across the sea
Especially when it happens he's an exile
From that dear lovely Isle of Innisfree

And when the moonlight
Peeps across the rooftops
Of this great city
Wondrous though it be
I scarcely feel its wonder or laughter
I'm once again back home in Innisfree

I wander o'e r green hills
Through dreamy valleys
And find a piece
No other land could know
I hear the birds make music fit for angels
And watch the rivers laughing
As they flow

And then into a humble shack I wander
My dear old home
And tenderly behold
The folks I love
Around the turf fire gathered
On bended knee
Their rosary is told

But dreams don't last
Though dreams are not forgotten
And soon I'm back
To stern reality
But though they pave
The foot ways here with gold dust
I still would choose
The Isle of Innisfree
I still would choose
The Isle of Innisfree

Scarlet Ribbons (For Her Hair) lyrics - Celtic Thunder

I peeked in to say good night
When I heard my child in prayer
And for me, some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair

All the stores were closed and shuttered
All the streets were dark and bare
In our town, no scarlet ribbons
Not one ribbon for her hair

Through the night my heart was aching
Just before the dawn was breaking
I peeked in and on her bed
In gay profusion lying there

Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

If I live to be a hundred
I will never know from where
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

Scarlet ribbons for her hair

The Rocky Road To Dublin lyrics - Celtic Thunder

[Chorus:]
One, two, three four, five,
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah!

Twas in the merry month of May, from me home I started,
Left the girls in Tuam, nearly broken hearted,
Saluted father dear, kissed me darling mother,
Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother,
Then off to reap the corn, leave where I was born
Cut a stout black thorn to banish ghosts and goblin;
Bought a pair of brogues, rattling o’er the bogs
And fright'ning all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin.

[Chorus:]
One, two, three four, five,
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah!

In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary,
Started by daylight next morning blithe and early,
Took a drop of pure to keep me heart from sinking;
Thats a Paddy's cure whenever he's on drinking.
See the lassies smile, laughing all the while
At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a bubblin'
Asked me was I hired, wages I required,
I was almost tired of the rocky road to Dublin.

[Chorus:]
One, two, three four, five,
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah!

In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity
To be soon deprived a view of that fine city.
So then I took a stroll, all among the quality;
Me bundle it was stole, all in a neat locality.
Something crossed me mind, when I looked behind,
No bundle could I find upon me stick a wobblin'
Enquiring for the rogue, they said me Connaught brogue
Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin.

[Chorus:]
One, two, three four, five,
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah!

From there I got away, me spirits never falling,
Landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing.
The Captain at me roared, said that no room had he;
When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy.
Down among the pigs, played some hearty rigs,
Danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling;
When off Holyhead I wished meself was dead,
Or better for instead on the rocky road to Dublin.

[Chorus:]
One, two, three four, five,
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah!

The boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed,
Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it.
Blood began to boil, temper I was losing;
Poor old Erin's Isle they began abusing.
"Hurrah me soul" says I, me Shillelagh I let fly.
Some Galway boys were by, saw I was a hobble in,
With a load "Hurray!" joined in the affray.
We quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin.

[Chorus:]
One, two, three four, five,
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah!

[Chorus:]
One, two, three four, five,
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah!

Carrickfergus lyrics - Celtic Thunder

I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Only for nights in Ballygran
I would swim over the deepest ocean
The deepest ocean for my love to find

But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
And nor have I the wings to fly
If I could find me a lonesome boatman
To ferry me over my love and I

My childhood days bring back sad reflections
Of happy time I spent so long ago
My boyhood friends and my own relations
Have all passed on now like the melted snow

So I’ll spend my days in endless roving
Soft is the grass my bed is free
Ah, to be home now in Carrickfergus
On that long road down to the sea

And in Kilkenny it is reported
On marble stone there as black as ink
With gold and silver I would support her
But I'll sing no more now till I get a drink

For I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober
A handsome rover from town to town
Ah but I am sick now my days are numbered
Come all ye young men and lay me down

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

Hunter's Moon lyrics - Celtic Thunder

I'm moving on now
No more to say
Time I was gone now
Why would I stay?

Don't rake the ashes
I'll take the lashes
You go now
I'll walk away.

No cause to wonder
No one's immune
I kissed you under
The hunter’s moon.

You wander free now
Don't look for me now
You go now
Before you,
Find your dreams are strewn
Beneath that icy hunter's moon
Dying all too soon
Beneath the hunter's savage moon

Time I was gone now
Anchors aweigh
I'm moving on now
Just one more day

I'll let you go now
How do we know though?
Who hunted?
Who was the prey?

You and I
Flew too high
Now we're falling free
Through the night
Burning bright
And colder than the sea

Now our dreams are strewn
Beneath that icy hunter's moon
Dying all too soon
Beneath the hunter's savage moon

Souls are out of tune
That kiss beneath that hunter's moon
Harsh and out of tune
And cursed to wander here and there forever,
Like the lonely moon.

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 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

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
