Sangue e Stelle Rubate

I wrote this song in a time of great senselessness and inhumanity  … where oppression, modern war and transactional peace were televised for years … where a generation of children were left traumatized and homeless with only a memory of their lost families to share with tired aid workers … and where parents were left to carry on making a new home after the loss of a precious child.

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.
