Heaven Paints Her Holy Mantle Blue


heaven paints her holy mantle blue
along the road
the victory of forgiveness
the queen of summer
eyes full of flight
as deep as the ocean
standing in doorways
between morning and the moon
swallow sing a song
i watched the sun
princess please
the lark of mayfield
bean dubh an ghleanna

Ragged Ground


the holy ploughland
while the world is turning round
oh little one
call me down
the curra road
over the mountains
tell all the lies
when we were new
you said you know i will be true
beautiful
in the garden of heaven
bluebell
new-born child
bruach na carraige báine

Word & Rhyme


a single thread
the willow
drunks sing out at night
she sings a melody
you know yourself
one who sweeps the streets
the crackling radio
the ragman
hello baby
summer at my feet
fallen branches
three long years
iron yard chains
you're a long time outside
