Current song lyrics
Words and music by Katell Keineg<br /><br /> If you could fill a veil with shells from Killiney's shore<br /> And sweet talk in a tongue that is no more<br /> And if wishful thoughts could bridge The Gulf of Araby<br /> Between what is, what is, what is<br /> And what can never be<br /><br /> If you could hold the frozen flow of New Hope Creek<br /> And hide out from the one they said you might meet<br /> And if you could unlearn all the words<br /> That you never wanted heard<br /> If you could stall the southern wind<br /> That's whistling in your ears<br /> You could take what is, what is, what is<br /> To what can never be<br /><br /> One man of seventy whispers free at last<br /> Two neighbors who are proud of their massacres<br /> Three tyrants torn away in a winter's month<br /> Four prisoners framed by a dirty judge<br /> Five burned with tyres<br /> Six men still inside<br /> And seven more days to shake at the great divide<br /><br /> (X2) The Gulf, the Gulf of Araby<br /> <br /> Well, we would plough and part the earth to bring you home<br /> And harvest every miracle ever known<br /> And if they laid out all the things <br /> That these ten years were to bring<br /> We would gladly give them up<br /> To bring you back to us<br /> O, there is nothing we would not give<br /> To kiss you and to believe we could take what is, what is, what is<br /> To what can never be<br /><br /> One man of seventy whispers not free yet<br /> Two neighbors who make up knee-deep in their dead<br /> Three tyrants torn away in the summer's heat<br /> Four prisoners lost in the fallacy<br /> Five, on my life<br /> And six, I'm dead inside<br /> And seven more days to shake at the great divide<br /><br /> (X2) The Gulf, the Gulf of Araby
