such a sweet happy and beautiful piece. the flute is so wonderfully played ☺️ your voices are such a great match 👏👏👏

A beautiful and plaintive love song of the Irish kind, jaunty yet sad, to find the love of your life only to surrender her to time and circumstance.

This is an original folk ballad with Irish nuances to fit the Saint Patrick’s Day spirit of the love story it tells. The tale of one fateful day in a crowded pub that leads to an annual ritual of love and longing.

Lyrics:
It’s ten in the morning, I sit in my car, 
The late winter sun settles in
I wait for a sign from the door of the bar, 
To beckon me enter, again

Today of all days, when the Danny Boy plays, 
I’m here where the story began
The day was the same, when in Saint Paddy’s name, 
I stood by the wall near the band

When out of the din, three ladies walked in, 
And one of them caused me to stare
Oh, I looked her over, this four-leaf clover, 
With a green ribbon bow in her hair
 
I finished my beer and ordered a chaser, 
And when I returned to the wall
There stood the ladies, and I had to face her, 
But no words came to me at all

I gave her a glance, saw a shift in her stance, 
The music poured on us like rain
And all I could do was to ask her to dance, 
And she smiled, how that memory remains

Cause we danced through the afternoon, many a pint, 
She laughed when I sang Black and Tans
And when the pipes played at the end of the night, 
My heart was alive in her hands

Her name was Diana from Billings, Montana, 
That rhyme I will never forget
She said it real loud to get over the crowd, 
And I can’t get her out of my head

Though neither of us could claim Irish descent, 
We kissed till the dawn had arrived
With one last kiss more, out my door the girl went, 
And the memories are all that survived

Of that St. Patrick’s Day, and a lady so fare, 
With a green ribbon bow in her hair
I’ll be here every year, while she’s out there somewhere, 
With a green ribbon bow in her hair

A Green Ribbon Bow

Two song writers, two kindred spirits... that found each other by pure happenstance and great fortune, to collaborate and create music together.
