DUSTY WINGS
Words and Music by Niamh Varian-Barry
Copyright © Niamh Varian-Barry 2018
Where is the girl who ran the woods
Her mind as free as the air she drew
Is she scared of her unsettled heart?
Ashamed of who she has become
She’s wishing she were somewhere else
With a stranger who doesn’t know
Praying she doesn’t have to feel
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Chorus:
Rise from the embers
That burn with broken pride
Kick off your shackles
And spread your unsure wings
Oh those dusty little things
Why did your heart stop breaking walls
Start building them instead
Between you and me and those who care
Each brick a doubt from years ago
Each row protects you from the past
But you never stopped to look around
Your feet cemented to the ground
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Rise from the embers
That burn with broken pride
Kick off your shackles
And spread your unsure wings
Oh those dusty little things
Those dusty little things
Your dusty wings
Rise from the embers
That burn with broken pride
Kick off your shackles
And spread your unsure wings
Oh those dusty little things
Those dusty little things
Your dusty wings

THE LARK OF MAYFIELD
Lyrics and music by Ger Wolfe ©2003
You are the lark of Mayfield, thundelling down the hill.
You are the lark of Mayfield, I can remember you still,
You sang…
“Yellow moon , don’t turn me around,
Yellow moon , I’m lost in the sound ,
Of your falling tower of dark ,
Send an angel - following spark , spark.”
You are the star of Munster, flying your dream away.
You are the stone-lapped water, gliding the early day,
You sang…
“Yellow moon , don’t turn me around,
Yellow moon I’m lost in the sound,
Of your falling tower of song,
Yellow moon , don’t string me along , along.”
You are the Flower of Ireland, out on the drifted wave ,
You are the Blood of Éireann,spilled in an empty cave,
Won’t you sing…
“Yellow moon , I’m turning around ,
Yellow moon ,in homeland surround,
Bog and lichen , heather and stone,
River water, carry me home, home.”
Oh carry me home x 3
I’m home

TAR ÉIS AN BHÁISTIGH
Lyrics and music © Niamh Varian-Barry 2017
Shivers, quivers, happy trembles
Le chéile arís, tar éis an bháistigh
Peace and comfort under the apple tree
You are fair as the moon and clear as the sun
For love is as strong as death
Jealousy as cruel as the grave
Many waters cannot quench love
Nor can the floods drown it
For I am my beloved’s
And my beloved is mine
Peace and comfort under the apple tree
You are fair as the moon and clear as the sun
Peace and comfort under the apple tree
You are fair as the moon and clear as the sun
Clear as the sun
You are fair as the moon and clear as the sun
Clear as the sun
You are fair as the moon and clear as the sun

I HAVE BEEN LOVED
© Ger Wolfe 2008
If I can say I have been loved
If I can say I have been loved
It’s by your blessing that I speak
These precious words, these precious words
I have been loved
The tree will grow and bear it’s fruit
The tree will grow and bear it’s fruit
It’s by your loving that the seed
Sings from the root, sings from the root
I have been loved
The river time bears life along
The river tide bears life along
And by your waters we will sing
The endless song, the endless song
I have been loved
If I can say I have done wrong
If I can say I have done wrong
And in your courage you forgive
This wicked man, this wicked man
I have been loved
If I am in some dungeon dark
If I am in some dungeon dark
The memory of one fleck of light
Will show the way, I have been loved
I have been loved

SATISFIED MIND
How many times
Have you heard someone say
If I had his money
I could do things my way
But little they know
And it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten
With a satisfied mind
Once I was winning
In fortune and fame
Everything that I dreamed for
To get a start in life's game
Then suddenly it happened
I lost every dime
But I'm richer by far
With a satisfied mind
Money can't buy back
Your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely
Or a love that's grown cold
The wealthiest person
Is a pauper at times
Compared to the man
With a satisfied mind
When my life is over
And my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones
I'll leave there's no doubt
But one thing's for certain
When it comes my time
I'll leave this old world
With a satisfied mind

Just the most fun. Every set is one I want to sit down and learn, and they play with so much ENERGY and STYLE. Crunchy, tangible sound. I'll never get tired of listening to Kinnaris Quintet play.
