Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd Cover

Iyeoka - Baba (Crussen Mix)

Dear friends - sorry, but it's me again! I'm 75 years old now, but in about 20-30 years I wish I could sit on my terrace with a blanket around my legs and listen to heavenly choir singing!
The picture is from where I live nowadays. 

Songs For the Old

They saw the light from the kids dressed in white
and they listened to the songs by the young folks
they were moved to tears, the songs were so nice
They recall all the days when they - 
were very young and also sang these songs
They love to listen to these old songs

They can sit so quiet in their garden
with a blanket around their hips and legs
and just listen to the choir when they sing their songs
it’s a charity for all the old -
who have lived their lives - and also sang these songs
when they were young and their voices were bright

At the end of the day when darkness falls
it’s so amazing to see all the candle lights
which are carried by the procession of young boys and girls
and the atmosphere is emotional and warm
and all the old - feel well this lovely night
when Christmas is approaching us

Track from the album Self Determination
AC Record Label ©

A song dedicated to the self determined people of Ireland who bravely sailed on the Dunbrody ship to America in search of a new life, far away from famine and persecution.

Lyrics

We sailed from the Quay, and I heard an old man say ‘goodbye New Ross’
And I looked back at the town that I lost, and saw her fading away
They took me below, for time on the deck was for cooking a stove
The weak and the weary, the brave and the bold, set sail for the Promised Land

And a young man read a letter from a cousin in America, who was waiting there with a job for him, and he said there is plenty of work for young Irishmen, with the will, to abstain and use all their skills

Dunbrody your bough points West, but Caoimhe stills beats in my chest
Dunbrody your voyage we make, it’s a risk we are willing to take

They battened down the hatch, and I felt a fever taking over my head
And as weak as a kitten I pray to be dead, while a storm is raging in me
And I open the door and I crawl the wet decks to the edge of this world
And gather up the strength, to throw myself over, but Captain Williams, rescued me

Dunbrody your bough points West, but Caoimhe stills beats in my chest
Dunbrody your voyage we make, It’s a risk we are willing to take

They tie down my feet, and slip me some whiskey to help me to sleep
And I dream of a girl and a bottle of stout, by a warm fire that never goes out
For your love is all I have, and nothing feels quite like your warming embrace
It soothes my head and unfurls my brow, and I want for nothing but you.
