I believe in Morrigan
cause her darkness is mine
I believe in Cliodhna
her painful howl is mine
so i howl
and i wail
and release
to no avail
and I plead
and I pray
and I fight
for another way
but here in my way
I fear I will stay
it's still the same
after all this change
my darkness in the way
my pain it will stay
like a wall in the way
from the womb to my dying day

it's not you that I want
if you don't want me
like I want you
it's not you that I long for
it's not you that I ache for
if you don't ache for me
but he doesn't taste like you
he doesn't feel like you
no he doesn't kiss me like you
no ho doesn't love me like you
am I the alkonost
that sings of love's true kiss
that fear makes you miss
no she doesn't taste like me
she won't feel like me
no she won't kiss you like me
no she won't love you like me
no she won't want you like me

The Parting Glass
03:52

Of all the money that e'er I had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm I've ever done
Alas, it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be to you all
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it fell into my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
Fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all

The Coat

I once had a dream that I walked on dublin street
I wore a stunning dress and I was the most beautiful I've ever been
but it was nighttime so I grew cold
the man I walked with took off his coat and wrapped his love round my shoulders
oh where has my love gone
oh when will my true come along
and wrap his love around my shoulders
so many years gone by in every city but my home
so many hands I loved to hold I've had to let go
oh where has my love gone
oh when will my true come along
and wrap his love around my shoulders

my beautiful one you seem to be wise
I'd like to drowned in your eyes
do I have to look to find what must be found
or will it find me just when I think I've been let down
please tell me what I need to know
I am lost I don't know to go
don't let my dreams pass me by
like a stranger in the crowd
let me give let me live
my own dreams out loud
do I have to wait to find what I'm waiting for
and what do I do in the meantime
besides longing for more
I don't to be my father
who lost it all to selfish fire
when should I be satisfied
and ignore this desire
please tell me what I need to know
I am lost I don't know to go
don't let my dreams pass me by
like a stranger in the crowd
let me give let me live
my own dreams out loud

Starving

I want to eat you like I was starving until you came
I want your hot breath in my ear worshiping my name
you've made my every pore a hand reaching for you
your body is the land I want to burrow into
you like a god standing over
you part my legs like the sea
and divided make me whole
whole again
I want you to love me like the sun rising everyday
like you you are never done and I'm never contained
I've found the glory of this world in your body
I never want to let you go I want you in me
you like a god standing over
you part my legs like the sea
and divided make me whole
whole again

Everything You Are

you said you only know what I tell you
about what I see in you
you must trust I've no illusions left here
cause I've known and loved you so many years
you've amazed me
constantly
you always inspire me
so deeply
I know the ways that you aren't perfect
but you are perfect for me
and I love you for everything you are
and I love you for everything you're not
cause you're everything I need by far
and you're everything I want
all our fears and doubts
are nothing to what life would be without
giving a love so great a try
so you don't regret letting me pass by
and I trust you
because you earned it
and I love you
because you're worth it
and I know we're both
not perfect
but I know I'm perfect for you

there are a million songs about this
how you can't force love with a wish
I know I'm alone in the pain
of not finding love again and again
you can't make it work when it won't
you can't let it make you give up hope
may be I need a Liam Neeson
with a set of skills
I never met nobody who could enough
but somebody will
I never comprised before and I
I never will
so may be i need a Liam Neeson
and his set of skills
I'm a woman
everything I'd said I'd do I've done
I need to live what I believe
where's the man who'll live this way with me
may be I need a Liam Neeson
with a set of skills
i never met nobody who could enough
but somebody will
I never comprised before and I
I never will
so may be i need a Liam Neeson
and his set of skills
I'm holding onto love
I'm holding out for love

how should I true love tell
you from another one
by your cockle hat and your staff
and your sandal shoon
say you
nay pray you
he's dead and gone
oh at his head is green grass turf
at his heals a stone
a stone
larded with the sweetest of all flowers
which bewept to his grave did go true love showers
say you
nay pray you
he's dead and gone
oh at his head is green grass turf
at his heals a stone
a stone
he's dead and gone you say
he's dead and gone you say
he's dead and gone you say
he's dead and gone you say
he's dead and gone you say
he's dead and gone you say
at his head is green grass turf
and at his heals a stone
a stone

it's in the earth I love with all my heart
it's in the sky I breathed in from the start
it's in the sea that our love alone could part
my body is already home and my mind has always known
and our spirits have never been alone
in love
I am new I wax and wane and bloom
I am full I fade, I swell, I swoon
I am the maiden, mother and the crone I'm the moon
my body is already one with you and my mind has always had deja vu
and our spirits have never been unglued
in love
in love

Will You Love Me
03:37

my whole body wants to merge with you
my whole heart longs to walk through doors
I've never been through
with you
you're all I ever wanted
but never knew
till now I've held back my heart
till you penetrated my every part
oh how I want you
no one less will do
with ever fiber
I want to be with you
so when you're ready to love again
will you love me?
'cause you're not only my every dream
you're my reality
all I wanted
always been
all I wanted
when I chased the wrong men
so when you're ready to love again
will you love me?
I give my hopes out to the wind
in the unknown i'm surrendered in
all I want is
that you're happy
even if it's
not with me
I wish my love song could your mind
and let you know how I've loved you all this time
how you've healed me
more than you know
how you've helped me
to grow
so when you're ready to love again
will you love me?
'cause you're not only my every dream
you're my reality
all I wanted
my dear friend
all I wanted
when I chased the wrong men
so when you're ready to love again
will you love me?

I say to you
you are beautiful
there are no flowers more fair
and none so sorrowful
walk with me a while
while the sun still shines
before the world goes dark
let our hearts be light
for I would not have the world end now
and lose so soon what I have found
the end of days used to be on my mind
but with you my limbs are light
you're a joy not denied
I know that you wished to be loved to be another
who only gave pity
and no love in return
but I would give all the world if I could now
to always love who I have found
your beautiful fist used to hold a shield
but let's make a garden and both be healed
so I say to you you are beautiful
and I love you
can you love me?
