BELFAST IN SPRING, A CURSE HUNG IN THE AIR
IT HAD BEEN WRITTEN, I'D MEET YOU SOMEWHERE OUT THERE.

YOU WERE A STAR, YOU WERE SHINING BRIGHT,
BUT YOUR WORLD GOT SO DARK, WHEN YOU STEPPED OUT OF THE LIGHT.

AND I COULDN'T SAY I COULD CALL YOU A FRIEND,
FOR EVERYONE WAS JUST A MEANS TO AN END 
BUT SOMEWHERE OUT THERE AMONG THE SMOKE AND THE SMOG YOU LOST YOUR SOUL FOR THE PRICE OF THE JOB.
SOMEWHERE OUT THERE. 

HIDE BEHIND BARS WITH YOUR DEMONS UNREST.
I CALLED IT FAILURE, YOU CALLED IT SUCCESS.
YOUR VACANT EYES THAT SCREAMED THE DARK.
STARED THROUGH MY LOVE AND SPAT AT MY HEART

AND I COULDN'T SAY I COULD CALL YOU A FRIEND,
FOR EVERYONE WAS JUST A MEANS TO AN END 
BUT SOMEWHERE OUT THERE AMONG THE SMOKE AND THE SMOG YOU LOST YOUR SOUL FOR THE PRICE OF THE JOB.
SOMEWHERE OUT THERE. 

BEAUTIFUL FOOL LIKE A THISTLE LAY DEAD.
TORN FROM THE ROOT, ON SOME MOVIE STARS BED
AND I FELT YOUR HUNGER AND I FELT YOUR RAGE 
YOU HAD THE WORLD AND SOLD YOUR SOLD TO THE STAGE 

AND I COULDN'T SAY, I COULD CALL YOU A FRIEND,
FOR EVERYONE WAS JUST A MEANS TO AN END 
BUT SOMEWHERE OUT THERE AMONG THE SMOKE AND THE SMOG YOU LOST YOUR SOUL FOR THE PRICE OF THE JOB.
SOMEWHERE OUT THERE. 

YOUR SOMEWHERE OUT THERE.
YOUR SOMEWHERE OUT THERE.

Somewhere Out There (1)

White Feathers was written to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Damien Reid 
I was always told as a child if you find a white feather, it’s a message from a loved one who has passed on. 
I don’t know how true it is, but it stuck with me & I’ve never passed a white feather yet, without picking it up.
So the old saying; ‘When feathers appear, angels are near.’ 
Was the inspiration behind the song I decided to write in Damiens memory ‘White Feathers’
