about

Celtic inspired track I wrote for St. Patricks day during my "100 songs in 2021 Songwriting Challenge".

lyrics

It’s early in the morning
And I try to rest my eyes
Though my mind is wandering
Hours till I rise
I dream of wandering away from here
This place as cold as stone
Until the day I can sail away
To the green shores of my home

The old familiar faces
From a lifetime long ago
The ones that call out to me
When I think back to my home
They always come to comfort me
When I feel alone
Until the day I can sail away
To the green shores of my home

Lay da die
Lay da die
Is there any going back for you and I
Cause the tears that dry upon why cheeks
Fall when I’m alone
Until the day I can sail away
To the green shores of my home

I think about my one true love
And what she’s doing now
And if she’s thinking of me
Or if she’s moved along somehow
I can hear her voice calling
From everywhere I roam
Until the day I can sail away
To the green shores of my home

Will she still remember me
After all these years
Will she still hold out her arms
To hold me oh so near
Will she put her lips to mine
And take me as her own
Until the day I can sail away
To the green shores of my home

Father can you help me
For these things I can’t know
What it is that makes a man
travel from his home
Every night I curse this war
It’s the worst thing I have known
