Made from gold
Adorned with silver
Whirling through the air
With fire and wonder
Cast its cloud
Over lawn and city
Tarmac and tree
To the wide open sea
What is the goal?
Breeze or storm?
Slowly your glow fades away
The shadow has passed
The air has changed
Meadow and bricks
No longer the same
It is what is left
It’s what will stay
Life slips away
It’s the way we play
I linger through the streets
Trees are growing
Dancing little leaves
Colorfully glowing
Every single leaf
Looks different from the others
Never will I see
Another one like you
What is the goal?
Breeze or storm?
Slowly your glow fades away
The shadow has passed
The air has changed
Meadow and bricks
No longer the same
It is what is left
It’s what will stay
Life slips away
It’s the way we play

Broom out the floor
Lay the fender by
And plant this bee-sucked
Bough of woodbine there
Hedges are all drowned
In green grass seas
Bobbing poppies
Flare like Elmo’s light
June is short, we must
Joy in it dance and sing
And from her bounty
Draw her rosy worth
On lowland crops the crows make raid, nor fear
Farmer boy's asleep like drunken Noah
And loop this red rose in that hazel ring
That snares your little ear for June is short
June is short, we must
Joy in it, dance and sing
And from her bounty
Draw her rosy worth
Soon the swallows will be flying south
The wind wheel north to gather in the snow
Even the roses spilled on youth’s red mouth
Will soon blow down the road all roses go

Siúil a Rún

I wish I was on yonder hill
Tis there I’d sit and cry my fill
Until every tear would turn a mill
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán
Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún
Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán
I’ll sell my rock, I’ll sell my reel
I’ll sell my only spinning wheel
to buy my love a sword of steel
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán
Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún
Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán
I’ll dye my petticoats, I’ll dye them red
And round the world I will beg for bread
Until my parents would wish me dead.
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán
Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún
Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán

See you far away
Far from any space
See you in the dark
No one has a face
Break it break it through the wall
Break through all the thoughts
Collect the pieces like a chore
Rebuild again alone
What’s the message here
Of all the dreams by night
I am drowning
Nothing will compare
Amazed by heavy bonds like this
Thankful and proud
When I realize they’re just dreams
I can breath again
