Shamrock Diaries

In waves of people you can lose your feet
Youve got to stay hard, to the ground
It gets so easy now to lose your way
When youre ever outward bound
A church bell ringing in the fading light
Stops you dead like a cold steel wall
The ghost of yesteryears is toughing you
And as sure as God youll fall
And I see me and I see you
I see it all just like it used to be
And all the reasons why it started out
Hit you hard with every bell
The choir practice in the empty hall
Is a sound that you know so well
Like something lost inside your overcoat
You find it later, by mistake
You lost it all a thousand years ago
And you pray its not too late
And I see me and I see you
I see it all just like it used to be
And I see me and I see you
I see it all just like a diary
Now I remember everything
Yea I remember how it used to be
With every note that choirboy sings
And I see me and I see you
I see it all just like it used to be

The Church Bell Rings Too Early

the church bell rings too early

the town's electrician
bald and ugly
poor and lonely
he was looking for his wife
who left with another man
taking with her
his only son

he could not eat breakfast
skipped his supper
and would not care for any lunch

and then the church bell tolled
for him
though not as early as he once did it

we shall always remember
grief, lament, the sound of the bell
too sonorous
to remember
lost affections, betrayal, death
and lack of
prayer.

After The Love Goes

Its been a year since I last saw mary
When she said goodbye
She casts a spell on my intention
Thats the reason why
Im taking my thought from a bottle lately
And breaking them up in my mind
All my problems they dont look pretty
Oh but its no surprise
Well its so hard
To take what youre given
Well its so hard
To give what youve got
After the love goes
Here I go
Theres no easy way
Bright lights of memphis
Sounds like a real good time
But I lost my heart and my money
Honed like cherry wine
But I dont remember the church bells ring
Thru the day or the night
But I kept my soul on my own
Not without a fight
Well its so hard
To take what youre given
Well its so hard
To give what youve got
After the love goes
Here I go
Theres no easy way
Its been a while since I last saw mary
Wipe a tearful eye
Well I remember I first saw mary
Saying her last goodbye
Breaking it up from a bottle lately
And making it up in my mind
But all my problems, they dont look pretty
Ooh thats the bottom line
Its so hard
To take what youre given
Well its so hard
To give what youve got
After the love goes
Here I go
Theres no easy road

The Hard Way

Boys like you were born to waste,
You never listen to a word I say
And if you think youre here to mess around,
Youre making a big mistake,
cos youre gonna find out the hard way,
You gonna find out the hard way.
No matter what I do or say,
Youre much too dumb to educate.
One day lifes going to turn around and slap you in the face,
Then youre gonna find out the hard way.
Youll take the hard way,
Gonna take the hard way.
Well, youll do it your way and Ill do it my way,
And well see whos the one to survive.
Youll find that with no foundation
Or qualifications
Theres no way that you can get by,
No, theres no way you can get by.
Why dont you take the easy way?
Why dont you co-operate?
Dont just sit there and vegetate.
Do you want to end up illiterate?
You think that lifes a vacation
And youve no inclination
To dust away the cobwebs of your mind.
Now its time for confrontation
And Im tired of being patient,
So Ive got to be cruel to be kind.
Youve got to be cruel to be kind.
Im wasting my vocation teaching you to write neat
When youre only fit to sweep the streets.
Your intellect is such
That it requires a killers touch.
So Im going to play it your way,
Well take the hard way.
Going to take the hard way,
You can take the hard way.
Gonna take the hard way,
Gonna take the hard way.

And Thats No Lie

But when the fire goes out
The dark starts moving in
And thats the truth
Right now youre on the stand
And I feel like the judge
Who needs the proof?
The slaves of truth
It was on every face in town
But I would not understand
Waiting for the news
Will it ever come my way?
I wont be beat, not in a thousand years
Ill never lose, if I can prove youre not the one
Just leave me now, youre making my blood run cold
The word is out, so go, your feet wont touch the ground
Now that she has gone
Ive got to shake the pain, act like a man
The sweetness thats inside
Will slowly die away
Who do you think you are? youre making a fool of me
Make no mistake, this is no fake, this is the end
Just shut your mouth, make room for someone new
So guess whos back, its happy jack, and thats no lie
How was I to know?
So discreet, no-one speaks
Take the word from here
If you play youve got to pray
Who do you think you are? youre making a fool of me
Make no mistake, this is no fake, this is the end
I wont be beat, not in a thousand years
Just leave me now, you make my blood run cold
The word is, the word is out

Remember Me

Lately all you can feel is the rain fallin.
Maybe you feel this world is to blame, youve been cryin.
Only, only inside will you know, but still you wonder sometimes.
Where can, where can you go?
Remember me. oh. when you feel this way
And you need someone to lean on.
(as if youre ever) ever too far away,
(remember me) I am the one (remember me) I am the one
Remember me, I am the one who sees in your eyes.
Remember me, I am the one who sees in your eyes.
Remember me, I am your guardian angel
And Ill never let you fall.
And if youre ever, ever in fear or danger,
(remember me) I am the one (remember me) I am the one who will turn
Remember me, I am the one...
Turn all your darkness to light in the morning.
You learn when youre too hard on yourself, you can call me.
Remember me, oh, when you feel this way...
Remember me, I am the one...

Its About You

This aint about the things Ive done
Where Ive been or what I won
Stand on your corner a thousand time
Lose what I got keep what I find
Its about you
Its about you
This aint about the things you say
Or how you make me feel this way
Stand on your corner a thousand time
Lose what I got keep what I find
Its about you
Its about you
And when I get this feeling
Its hard for me to come back down
And when I get this feeling
Its hard for me to come back down
And I could be
That everything you need
And I know this could be
That free fall back to me
This aint about the things Ive done
Where Ive been or what I won
Stand on your corner a thousand time
Lose what I got keep what I find
Its about you
Its about you
Its about you
Its about you
And when I get this feeling
Its hard for me to come back down
And when I get this feeling
Its hard for me
Cause I could be
That everything you need
And I know this could be
That free fall back to me
But keeping you aint easy
With everyone that sees me
Telling me get back on the ground
It never could be easy
Instead of you just pleasing me
Youre keeping me down
And I know this could be
That freefall
Come on jump to me

Good News

(shirley eikhard)
Darkness falls and you withdraw
Your humour disappears
Its been this way for years
Its nothing new
Come around and dont look down
Youll never see the sun
Youll never see the one
Whos loving you
Youve got to hold your head up, darling
Never let them see
When youre sad, you look a lot like me
Youve got to want to win my darling
Or youre bound to lose
I wish for once that I could bring you good news, good news
Now I dont care for sad affairs,
The outcomes up to you
If tears are overdue, then let them fall...
Come around and dont look down
Youll never see the sun
Youll never see the one
Whos loving you
Youve got to hold your head up, darling
Never let them see
When youre sad, you look a lot like me
Youve got to want to win my darling
Or youre bound to lose
I wish for once that I could bring you good news, good news
Youve got to want to win my darling
Or youre bound to lose
I wish for once that I could bring you good news, good news

How Do You Stop?

By dan hartman and charlie midnight
Hard bodies
Soft emotions
So fast
So smart
The world is at your feet
But what about your heart?
Fame and fortune cant hold you tight
In the late late hours of the night
How do you stop
Before its too late?
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate
How do you stop
Before its too late?
You think love will wait
So you dont hold on
And then its gone
Youve had success-
Lots of fancy friends
Youve tasted the good life
You thought it would never end
One day youre too young
Then youre in your prime
Then youre looking back at the hands of time
How do you stop
Before its too late?
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate
How do you stop
Before its too late?
You think love will wait
So you dont hold on
And then its gone
How do you stop a runaway train?
How do you stop the driving rain?
How do you stop the ripening corn?
How do you stop a baby being born?
How do you stop
Before its too late?
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate
How do you stop
Before its too late?
How do you stop?
Youre lost if you hesitate ...
How do you stop
Love from slipping away?
How do you stop
Before its too late?

Stand on your corner a thousand time

A Dying Brain

Do you recall how I was once your fire –?
And we, a regal cloud of unity
Meandering through the closing blues of night,
Commanding stars to glitter;
Dawn to blush?

Your answer comes in ever-blanking stares:
A wall that blocks the know,
Damping down the glow that used to emanate
From clear and lucid eyes.
They've lost the will to recognise.

But hear! We are fifty years together –
And once we writhed in pleasure –
Drowning in emotion,
That which was our prime.

You don't recall.
You only lie as vegetation
Scattered on the ground:
A living mound of flesh,
Devoid of any neural mesh
To let you say 'I'm sound.'

Don't worry Dear,
For I'm aware with memory!
I'll tell you how we were.
We have our right of history!

If you could just concur.

Please remember, remember me, remember, remember me, remember
Please remember, remember me, remember, remember me, remember
Please remember, remember me, remember, remember me, remember
Please remember, remember me, remember, remember me, remember
Please remember, remember me, remember, remember me, remember
Please remember, remember me, remember, remember me, remember
Please remember, remember me, remember, remember me
Please remember, remember me, remember, remember
Please remember, remember me, remember
Please remember, remember me
Please remember, remember
Please remember
Please

If I Ever Loose My Faith

You could say I lost my faith in science and progress
You could say I lost my belief in the holy church
You could say I lost my sense of direction
You could say all of this and worse but
If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do
Some would say I was a lost man in a lost world
You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV
You could say I lost my belief in our politicians
They all seemed like game show hosts to me
If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do
I could be lost inside their lies
Without a trace
But everytime I close my eyes
I see your face
Never saw no miracle of science
That didn't go from a blessing to a curse
Never saw no military solution
That didn't end up as something worse but
Let me say this first
If I ever lose my faith in you
(If I ever lose my faith in you)
There'd be nothing left for me to do
(There'd be nothing left for me to do)
If I ever lose my faith
If I ever lose my faith
If I ever lose my faith
If I ever lose my faith...in you

Another Angel Gets Its Wings

(robert irving)
Theres an angel in us all
A little voice inside that answers every call
Theres a joyous sound resounding in your heart
A ray of hope that shines as bright as any star
Remember...
For each and every bell that rings
Another angel gets his wings
So show you care and share your light
And help an angel fly tonight
An act of kindness, a tender smile
These little blessings seem to make it all worth while
So try and do whats ringing true inside your heart
Remember...
For each and every bell that rings
Another angel gets his wings
So show you care and share your light
And help an angel fly tonight
(another angel) everybody sing
(another angel) its a wonderful life
For each and every bell that rings
Another angel gets his wings
Say you believe in what you are
Share the love thats ringing true inside your heart
Remember...
For each and every bell that rings
Another angel gets his wings
So show you care and share your light
And help an angel fly tonight
(another angel) everybody sing
(another angel) its a wonderful life
For each and every bell that rings
Another angel gets his wings
(another angel) everybody sing
(another angel) its a wonderful life
(another angel)

Hypnotised

I can feel the whole world spinning around
Im losing ground
I feel it every day
And I can feel you coming inside out
Im losing touch with all reality
I remember the look in your eyes
The way that they pulled me inside
All Ive got now in my defence is my innocence
Ive been hypnotised
I can hear the church bells ringing out
Reminds me of some bright and sunshine day
When all the pretty horses you would ride
Would come right back to feel your energy
I still remember the look in your eyes
The way that they filled me inside
All Ive got now in my defence
Is my innocence
Ive been hypnotised
You know it wont be easy
Its never easy
Ive been hypnotised
It wont be easy
If youve got a heart that burns inside
Let me get inside let me tangle with the flames
If youve got a light that burns inside
The heat will rise and melt down once again
Im waiting for a sign, help me realign
Maybe its a sin I know but its not a crime
All I know, Ive been hypnotised
Maybe theres a way I can find a way
Final hour judgement day
All I know, Ive been hypnotised
And then I realise

To Control and Hold Back the Tears

Not many Americans really know what goes on,
And why when we get home so many of us veterans have in common,
Even though a lot of our memories are not the same,
We still have the same feelings as we lost our buddies and still can remember them name by name.
It all starts as we go out and go on patrol,
We pray to come back in one piece, which is our goal.
And yes, this is something that everyone prays for,
Because we see so much that hurts our hearts more and more.
To see our buddies get thrown and blown around,
Some are hurt and some just wounded, but others are heaven bound.
Coming back home is something that we all have to deal with and it is very hard,
Especially as we see our friends being buried in a National Cemetery grave yard.
To think that we will always remember these things as we get older and go through the years,
It's hard for us not to think about it and hold back the tears.
Some of us come with deep echoes and ringing sounds in our mind,
This causes us to lose control and to keep our way of thinking in a bind.
It is really hard for a lot of people to understand what it feels like to come back,
And to always feel like you are under attack.
Yes, this time of pain and is hard to control.
with help from the Lord and our family, we try to calm our soul.
As the time goes on and more and more of us are coming back and being diagnosed,
It finally helps us come out of our deep and wanting to be alone, and comatose.
Thank you to everyone that wants to try to understand what it feels like for us to go through and see what we see.
Because in our lives, it is finally here to show us that there is someone who cares for them and for me.

song - Crammag Light

The winter winds are blowin in from Ireland ‘cross the sea
I’m waiting on the pierhead here just watching seagulls wheel
The light is going down now and I’m thinking of the night
When you sailed out from this harbour wall down past Crammag light

The years have passed so slowly since I watched you sail away
I wonder if you’re on the waves still fishing night and day
The tourists have all gone now and I’m by the fireside
In the flames I see you sailing off down past Crammag light

(chorus)
Oh Johnny are you never coming back to Logan Bay
The harbour bell is silent now but seabirds on the wing
Are calling out to everywhere, above the breaking waves
But the only song that I can hear is the song the winter sings
Oh Johnny are you never coming back to Logan Bay

Remember when we stood upon the cliff at logan head
The sea was like a mill pond and the sun was setting red
The herring boats were drifting southwards on the flooding tide
In the distance we could see the moon over Crammag light

The waves are running high towards the fishpond cottage wall
And all the sea is empty now as darkness starts to fall
The Sanderlings are crying for another day that’s gone
To the south of Laggantulloch, Crammag’s light has just come on

I’ve heard the talk about the ghost that haunts the waters here
They say that when the sun goes down his fishing boat appears
In winter’s gales and breaking waves, or so the legends say,
In the sweeping light from Crammag, heading north for Logan Bay

Nothing Is Easy

Nothing is easy.
Though time gets you worrying
My friend, its o.k.
Just take your life easy
And stop all that hurrying,
Be happy my way.
When tension starts mounting
And youve lost count
Of the pennies youve missed,
Just try hard and see why theyre not worrying me,
Theyre last on my list.
Nothings easy.
Nothing is easy, youll find
That the squeeze wont turn out so bad.
Your fingers may freeze, worse things happen at sea,
Theres good times to be had.
So if youre alone and youre down to the bone,
Just give us a play.
Youll smile in a while and discover
That Ill get you happy my way --
Nothings easy.

My Hearts With You

(diane warren)
I know youre leaving
I wont ask you to stay
I wont hold you back
I wont stand in your way
If thats what youve gotta do
I understand
Its not that easy setting you free
But thats how its gotta be
And as youre walking away
As Im watching you go
Theres one thing I want you to know
(chorus)
Just remember my hearts with you
When the night gets so long and cold
And no ones there to hold
And youre all alone
Take a moment to think of me
And the love that we used to know
And if you ever find you ever need me someday Im just a heartbeat away, wo
Saying goodbye isnt saying were through
Just know through it all Im still here for you
Light a light in the window
When your lost in the dark, ooh
These arms would be happy to hold you again
If ever you miss me or when you
Start thinking about
All the nights that we shared
Darling you know Ill be there
(repeat chorus (without last line))
You walk to the door with nothing to say
I look in your eyes and you look away
Youre leaving me now, but darling I hope
Hope--that youll look back someday
(and remember my hearts with you...)

Some Of Shellys Blues

By michael nesmith
Tell me, just one more time,
The reasons why you must leave.
Tell me once more why youre sure you dont need me.
Tell me again, but dont think that youll convince me.
Now youve said, before falling in love again
Youd rather be dead.
cause when someone breaks your heart
You cry your eyes read.
But theres nothin so hard about the life that youve lead
As far as I can see theres no reason for goodbyes.
Youre just running scared and thats something I wont buy.
So you lose
I wont let you go with nothing to show but more blues.
And all this talk about leavin is strictly bad news.
So you settle down and stay with the man that loves you.
As far as I can see theres no reason for goodbyes.
Youre just running scared and thats something I wont buy.
So you lose
I wont let you go with nothing to show but more blues.
And all this talk about leavin is strictly bad news.
So you settle down and stay with the man that loves you.
You settle down and stay with the man that loves you.

Early Frost

Summer came and went so fast, at my summer home
I found a summer love and I hoped it would last
But then the rain came down that fall
And Im all out of reasons that you dont call
And sometimes on my windowpane I write your name
Like we did in those grains of sand
Because in my mind nothing has changed
And my heart keeps telling me I ought to lose my pride and just call you
So I will, yes I will, when I get around to it
My head keeps battling with reasons to keep my spirit believing that you still,
I pray you still remember me
So many things run through my mind
Why did you lose your thrill?
Did I hold you tight?
A love for all seasons I believe I got it right
Yeah thats what Id hear when Id kiss you goodnight
But thats gone, theres just pain in my chest
A love songs replaced your sweet caress
And I cant see how that will do
And my heart keeps telling me I ought to lose my pride and just call you
So I will, yes I will, when I get around to it
My head keeps battling with reasons to keep my spirit believing that you still,
I pray you still remember me
Although I feel that times passing me by
I long for the day that youll be back in my life
So I close my eyes and pray that we will be together
Together someday

Sound Of The Bell

Found a place where we can talk
I found a way to reach a little ground
Keep your castle in my sandbox
Build it up so we can burn it down
Anyway I love my man
Love to keep him spinning round and round
Keep him feeling love for my hand
Any way to turn him inside out
I dont wanna go down like the sunlight
I dont wanna go out like the moonlight
I dont wanna be found at the sound of the bell
The sound of the bell
The sound of the bell
Meet me up and down again
Every time is sweeter than the last
Once you get a taste of impact
Youre always hungry for the crash
I dont wanna go down like the sunlight
I dont wanna go out like the moonlight
I dont wanna be found at the sound of the bell
The sound of the bell
The sound of the bell
And this is everything
I have loved
Yeah, I have loved
Break...
My...
Heart...
Down, I dont wanna go down like the sunlight
I dont wanna go out like the moonlight
I dont wanna be found at the sound of the bell
The sound of the bell
The sound of the bell
I dont wanna go down like the sunlight
I dont wanna go out like the moonlight
I dont wanna be found at the sound of the bell
The sound of the bell
The sound of the bell
Yeah...
(I dont wanna be found in the sunshine
I dont wanna be dim like a night light
I dont wanna be down like the sunlight
I dont wanna go out like the moonlight...)
