Curfa: Fáilte, fáilte, fáilte a rún Fáilte go sonas agus fáilte go grá buan Fáilte go beatha nua, croíúil liom Is go deimhin 's tú mo mhúirnín, a ghrá (Translation: Welcome, welcome, welcome, Love Welcome to happiness and welcome to lasting love Welcome to a warm, new life me And of course you are always my darling, Love) I remember when you left from yonder hill; To seek your fortune was your will, But you're back, a promise to fulfill Is go deimhin 's tú mo mhúirnín, a ghrá You sold your good shirt, you sold your meal You sold your only sword of steel To return to your love and your home ideal Is go deimhin 's tú mo mhúirnín, a ghrá We'll paint our home, we'll paint it red And it's from our hearth our clan will be fed Until all our sorrows have gone and fled Is go deimhin 's tú mo mhúirnín, a ghrá I wished, I wished, I wished not in vain I wished I had you here again And now you're here and here you will remain Is go deimhin 's tú mo mhúirnín, a ghrá And now our love has every chance To try our fortunes to advance As it e'er comes back, in an e'er wid'ning dance Is go deimhin 's tú mo mhúirnín, a ghrá

When I was your child, free-spirited and wild, Your temper came through loud and clear. As the violence rose higher, consuming like fire, Soon our whole house lived in fear. Hot sparks lived in words we commonly heard: “You can’t do anything right.” As all worthless things go, I was thrown out also To fend for myself in the night. If only you’d known I’m an angel you would never have treated me so; If only you’d known I’m an angel you wouldn’t have let me go. First love of my heart gave me such a start I never thought I’d find it there Quick, light hazel eyes grabbed me by surprise and soft skin where your face met your hair. It forced me to grow, this loving you so Through difficult teenage years, But once you could tell, friendship turned to hell and frequently left me in tears. If only you’d known I’m a unicorn you would never have treated me so; If only you’d known I’m a unicorn you wouldn’t have let me go. All I had was you to help me get through The scariest part of my life. No home, no family, friends were all to me as I dealt with the hardship and strife. One day your old friends took me out with them For once I had a little fun. ‘Next day I came back to a brand new attack: Your days with me were all done. If only you’d known I’m a gelfling you would never have treated me so; If only you’d known I’m a gelfling you wouldn’t have let me go. If only you’d known I’m an angel you would never have treated me so; If only you’d known I’m a unicorn you wouldn’t have let me go. If only you’d known I’m a gelfling you would never have treated me so; If only I’d known ...

A leanbh, cá bhfuil tú? A leanbh, cá ndeachaigh tú? A bhfuil tú le na daoine sí? A bhfuil tú le na daoine maithe? Bhí tú beagneach ‘am; chonaic mé thú. Tar ar ais chugam, tá mé uaigneach. Ar chaill mé thú? Translation: Song to the Storm Child, where are you? Child, where have you gone? Are you with the fairies? Are you with the Good People? I almost had you; I saw you. Come back to me, I am lonely. Have I lost you?

When you're far from home And you're all alone And too tired to roam You can still find me When the wind blows strong And the hours burn long You'll still hear my song You can still find me I am the strength no one can take I am the faith nothing can shake When a grief like lead Weighs down your head You feel hope is dead You can still find me When your friends have gone And you cry 'till dawn You must still push on You can still find me I'm wisdom in the trees and the earth That you have felt calling since birth I am in you, your dreams, and your soul I bring you love, I keep you whole When you need to sleep But your guard must keep When you're in too deep You can still find me When you fly away From where the unhealed prey And have no place to stay You can still find me I am the strength no one can take I am the faith nothing can shake I'm your desire to become free I'll make you all you long to be When the ones you thought Would have helped a lot Their own comfort sought You can still find me When you've just been hurt But must stay alert I am not inert You can still find me I am the strength no one can take I am the faith nothing can shake I'm your desire to become free I'll make you all you long to be I'm wisdom in the trees and the earth That you have felt calling since birth I am in you, your dreams, and your soul I bring you love, I keep you whole When the moon shines bright Where you sleep at night And your dreams take flight You can still find me I am the strength no one can take I am the faith nothing can shake I'm your desire to become free I'll make you all you long to be I'm wisdom in the trees and the earth That you have felt calling since birth I am in you, your dreams, and your soul I bring you love, I keep you whole

Alone at night she looks up to the moon And as she does she starts to feel the power From oceans to a single tiny rune It flows through everything at every hour A priestess of her own she is aware Of power many would choose to ignore Because she has enough courage to dare To learn the ancient secrets of old lore Looking down again she starts to draw She feels the power flowing from her pen Each sacred image sets her world in awe Of power it can finally know again She found her source of power in the wild The only place it can be, for a child

It happened on a Samhain night A silver moon rose to her height As I stayed up alone to write Of love made clear, and love’s delight As I was working on a song I heard a voice both clear and strong Reminding me of how I long For love’s delight; a true heartsong So I looked up and in the place Where the mirror had shown my face A fairy woman sang with grace A true heartsong now taking place She sang most beautiful and true And I knew nothing I could do Could stop this if I’d wanted to From taking place, so follow through I took my harp from where she lay For muse’s guidance I did pray That she may show me the right way To follow through, and grace repay To court the lady now I played And from her song I never strayed All of my love and skill displayed Her grace repaid; a heartsong made The warm brass strings of my harp rang To complement the song she sang Love piercing me like hunger’s pang This heartsong made, and so we sang Soon then she turned as if to go I knew I had to stop her so I tried using all that I know And so I sang that she’d not go My own voice rose as if in prayer Ringing throughout this strange night’s air And it did hold the lady fair She did not go, it held her there I sang to her of dreams and love Of worlds below and worlds above All worlds and things worth singing of It held her there, my fairy love And then her milk-white hand reached through The mirror’s surface and I knew Just what she wanted me to do My fairy love, how my heart flew Quickly I now had to decide Whether her calling to abide And join her on the other side How my heart flew, how my heart cried I longed to hold her but held back For I knew those who took that track Were never able to come back How my heart cried, but still held back To think that once I would have leapt At chances like this, to be kept In that strange world, where once I’d crept But now held back, I can’t accept But I thought of a better way My plan was to coax her to stay Even if only for one day I can’t accept the other way My song rose up more earnest then But she had turned away again I thought I must have lost her when The other way she turned again And then we sang in harmony While I played more ecstatically And richly she rewarded me She turned again and stepped toward me The mirror rippled round her hair As she came through with little care I longed to move; I didn’t dare She stepped towards me through misty air What happened next I’ll not tell here For this tale is too long I fear But I still hold her very dear Through misty air was love made clear

chorus: I long for a lover whose heart is like the sea One who knows our source and can journey there with me Whose gentle touch soothes deep through my skin And whose beauty shines from a treasure deep within My heart has been hurt and I have been scared I have fled my heart and have taken to the air I flown so high that no one could reach But to be drawn back is the thing I now beseech My heart is a place I myself have just now known It's a vibrant place where all life is healthily grown And hidden deep where there can be no hate Ancient temples full of treasure lie in wait
 I've searched o'er the mountains and over the seas But the love I seek so far has eluded me So now I shine my own inner light That she may find me as I search for her by night
