FAWM 2021

This is my first submission for FAWM - a collaborative effort with Steve Potter providing the guitar - this rough demo will likely evolve into a song for our Aughtwright project.

FAWM 2021: Minus One

Running on Fumes

I'll tell you when I'm tired
I'll tell you when it's hard
When I'm way too wired
When to stop and start
You tell me when to touch
and when it's all too much
for your multiple moments 
for my multiple moments

And we'll try to hold them 
Try to make them count
without holding them against each other

I'll tell you when it's good
I'll tell you when it isn't
When I'm feeling young
When I'm insufficient
You tell me what to take
and what we get to make
for your multiple moments
for my multiple moments

THE BIRDS OF GALWAY BAY

[SONG NUMBER 8 for FAWM 2021]



She had baskets full of offers
All the oysters, all the pearls
Anything she wanted 
Across the whole wide world
I asked her what she’d chosen
But she didn’t have to say
She was already dreaming
Of the birds of Galway Bay
She was already dreaming
Of the birds of Galway Bay

I smile to think about it
My dearest, brilliant girl
Flying cross the ocean
To experience the world
She hadn’t even left the ground
But her eyes were far away
Her heart’s already soaring
With the birds of Galway Bay.
Her heart’s already soaring
With the birds of Galway Bay.

Through her eyes I’ll see the Aran Isles
And smell the heather there
And feel the Irish wind blow
Through the feathers of her hair
Even though she’s over there
Three thousand miles away
I can almost hear her singing with 
The Birds of Galway Bay
I can almost hear her singing with 
The BIrds of Galway Bay

I know it’s not forever
She’ll come back to us some day
Until then I’ll sit and count the weeks
As here at home I stay
I know
A person can’t go round the world
And come back just the same
But she’ll always be my girl who loved the birds of Galway Bay
She’ll always be my girl who loved the birds of Galway Bay

When everything is quiet
And her eyes are far away,
I’ll know her heart is soaring 
With the birds of Galway Bay.
