International You Day (Cover)

Lyrics: 

There I see a cardinal 
flicker across the frozen canal 
through the air, the ghosts and the ashes. 
The bird brightens the lifeless bough. 

A breath, then I keep moving. 
I stay to be surprised. 

I peek back at my footprints 
and hear the gravel shifting. 
A breath then I keep moving. 
I follow the smell of fire. 

A breath, then I keep moving, 
keen to be surprised. 
I stay to be surprised.

Whiskey In The Jar rendition inspired by The Dubliners 

Whiskey In The Jar

I've got a shovel.
You have a shovel too. 
We've both got the muscles
to do the job we all must do. 

Digging aisles through our days,
our tongues get dry, we drink along the way. 
We laugh at how much we each spill
but when it's dusk wish our canteens were filled. 

This is my song.
It can be sung by anyone. 
You've got your own simple song.
Who will sing them when we're gone? 

Digging aisles through our days,
our tongues get dry, we drink along the way. 
We drink. We laugh at how much we each spill
but when it's dusk wish our canteens were filled. 

Digging aisles to our graves,
our tongues get dry, we drink along the way. 
Yeah, we drink. We laugh at how much we each spill
but when it's dusk we wish our canteens were filled. 

I've got a shovel. 

Shovel - Triangle Shirt Factory

"The hero of our home." I wrote this song as a Downwrite request for a husband to his wife, the mother of their children. Although it wasn't intended to be about war veterans, I always thought it spoke to those who protect us and our ways of life. "Our days are long but our years are far too short. You make us strong. You're our support."

You're Our Support
