Lyrics:

I’ve been travelling a hard road 
Been weary to the bone 
I’ve been travelling a hard road 
Been weary to the bone 
Won’t you join this wayward pilgrim 
And together we will roam 

At the end of a long day 
You ease my worried mind 
At the end of a long day 
You ease my worried mind 
Put my troubles to the sword 
Like some sweet cherry wine 

And we’ll sing songs of healing 
Oh, lay me down low 
Oh, and we’ll sing songs of healing 
Like in those days of old 

I want to walk to the river’s edge 
And lay ‘neath a peaceful sky 
I want to walk to the river’s edge 
And lay ‘neath a peaceful sky 
And there my thirst shall be quenched 
And my soul will be revived 

And we’ll sing songs of healing 
Oh, lay me down low 
Oh, and we’ll sing songs of healing 
Like in those days of old 

I want to dance with you all night long 
And waltz around this town 
I want to dance with you all night long 
And waltz around this town 
Let those violins cry and sing 
Until we both fall down 

And we’ll sing songs of healing 
Oh, lay me down low 
Oh, and we’ll sing songs of healing 
Like in those days of old 
Like in those days of old 
Like in those days of old 
Like in those days of old

Lyrics:

And life goes on 
Like we never wished 
The plot it seemed to twist 
Until we slipped away 

And life goes on 
Beneath an auburn sky 
We watched our ship capsize 
And sink beneath the waves 

And I still remember when 
I still remember when 
I still remember when 
You were mine 

And life goes on 
But memories long to linger 
The sins stay with the sinners 
And faith begins to heal 

Life goes on 
And though we may persist 
This world will still resist 
‘til we’ve been brought to kneel 

And I still remember when 
I still remember when 
I still remember when 
You were mine 

Darling, tell me shall I stay 
Shall I pull myself away and let it all be? 
Darling, tell me shall I stay 
Shall I pull myself away and let it all be? 

And I still remember when 
I still remember when 
I still remember when 
You were mine

Remember

On July 2, 2018, I joined Attila and Friends at The Märchenzelt in Augsburg to shoot a number live music videos. One of the many tracks we recorded that day was a song called 'Wandering Irish Heart'. 

The song was written in late 2013 and had only been played live as an encore for our Attila and Friends gigs... until now!! 

I'm delighted to share this recording with you and I'd like to thank to all the musicians for the making this such an enjoyable song to play live. I'd also like to thank Attila Tapolczai of New Home Recording for his energy and care in mixing and mastering this track.

- Lyrics - 

I rise in the morning
My heart is feeling weary
Only 'cause I'm leaving here again
Sitting at the station 
And thinking as I'm waiting
Missing you before I've even left

CHORUS
May the road rise to meet you
God's blessings always greet you
Step away and find strength in the thought
Oh, darling please be strong
You know I love you though I'm gone
And this wandering Irish heart is with you dear
This wandering Irish heart is with you dear

Yes, I can be foolish
But your patience it brings healing
Your touch it brings a feeling to my bones
You say I'm just a dreamer
But this dream is getting realer
This wish I carry in my very soul

CHORUS

Cast away your fears 
And dry away your tears
Heaven will unite these hearts of gold 
And when I should return 
I'll take it as my turn
This wandering Irish heart is yours alone

CHORUS

''If'' was one of the many demos written for 'Songs of Healing' but didn't make the cut. I came across this rough cut recently and thought I might share it with you.

His music explores themes of human experience which are driven forward by a chorus of jangling electric guitars and warm synthesizers or softly supported with acoustic Instrumentation.
