A prayer for the dying
For the waves coming in
And washing the edges
The edges away from within
Your heart
My heart
Your heart
My heart
A prayer for the dying
Oh, the sun coming up
To fill all the corners
So misunderstood
Of your heart
My heart
Your heart
My heart

The human voice will always be my favorite instrument...
;)
From Songfacts.com: "Lisa Hannigan was reading the works
of Irish poet Seamus Heaney for a part-time degree in
English literature but was struggling with songwriting
for her third studio album. 'At one point in the process,
I felt I didn't have a word in my head to write, and
thought I'd just read Seamus Heaney because he has all
the best words – as Trump might say,' she told The Irish
Times.
Heany's poetry inspired Hannigan's songwriting, to the
point that this song is one of his poems set to her
melody. She told The Irish Times it 'looked like a song
on the page.'
Hannigan added: 'I just started singing it and over the
course of a night I remember running out to the bathroom
and singing the next line into my phone and then going
back and hearing the next line . . . like beads on a
string.'"
***
My "Place Of Clear Water"
The first hill in the world
Where springs washed into
The shiny grass
And darkened cobbles
In the bed of the lane
Anahorish, soft gradient
Of consonant, vowel-meadow
After-image of lamps
Swung through the years
On winter evenings
With pails and barrows
Those mound-dwellers
Go waist-deep in mist
To break the light ice
At wells and dunghills

Home so far from home,
So far to go
And we've only just begun
And oh, every lie we told
Is written in stone
Every lie we wrote in our bones
And hold on, there's nothing to pack
We know we're not coming back
Oh oh Oh oh
And Oh, every promise that we broke
Is sewn to our clothes
Now we are pinned to the wind I suppose
And oh, every fallen flake of snow
It has to give in
Oh but we spin and we spin and we spin
And hold on, there's nothing to pack
Lay your heart out, we're not coming back
Oh oh Oh oh!
Hold on, there's nothing to pack
Lay your heart out, we're not coming back.
We're not coming back
