From the shell~

Idir ann is idir as
Idir thuaidh is idir theas
Idir thiar is idir thoir
Idir am is idir áit

Casann sí dhom
Amhrán na farraige
Suaimhneach nó ciúin
Ag cuardú go damanta
Mo ghrá

Idir gaoth is idir tonn
Idir tuilleadh is idir gann
Casann sí dhom
Amhrán na Farraige
Suaimhneach nó ciúin
Ag cuardú go damanta

Idir cósta, idir cléibh
Idir mé is idir mé féin
Tá mé i dtiúin

Between the here, between the now
Between the north, between the south
Between the west, between the east
Between the time, between the place

From the shell
The song of the sea

Neither quiet nor calm
Searching for love again
Mo ghrá
Mo ghrá

Mo ghrá...
Tá mé i dtiúin.

The Song - Lisa Hannigan, Lucy O'Connell

2/5/15

I came here to sink or swim~

I stood on faith and the corner of ambition
I came here to sink or swim
And to show them all that they were wrong
And though I never thought I'd make it this far

So the curtains are down
For the moment I'm someone
There were those in the wings who waited, who came this way
Now there gone
But there's always someone at home who never forgets who you are

When I'm down and I'm growing old
I won't be along no railroad track
I won't be bound to a life out in the cold
It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway
And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home

When I'm down and I'm growing old
I won't be along no railroad track
I won't be bound to a life out in the cold
It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway
And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home

Can't go on, I'm on the top of my better years
I'm going home, it's too lonesome on the bottom rung here

It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway
And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home

On the way to somewhere...

These days that I got
I can't be what I'm not
Sacrifices I... made for you
One mistake can go
Through this life so slow
Want to keep myself from making two

'Cause on this road less travelled on
On a way to somewhere
Will you miss me when I'm gone
I don't know where do I belong

And the sun will rise
We'll open up our eyes
And see love showin' what's really true
And I would go so far
Just to be where you are
Will take no time bringin' my heart to you

'Cause on this road less travelled on
On a way to somewhere
And will you miss me when I'm gone
I don't know where do I belong

Reaching out from within
Can't tell you where I'd been
Rememberin' something I was told
And it's called me to go
Find my way back home
Hearin' you singin our favorite song

'Cause on this road less travelled on
On the way to somewhere
And will you miss me when I'm gone
I don't know where do I belong...

These Days - Alison Krauss & Union Station
