Softly

Softly
softly we will fall
like petals off flowers cut in bloom
maybe we will dream
the last star is fading into dawn
gently the tide turns
pulling you closer to the moon
but I, I won´t let go
not at leased until you tell me to
the stars have gone to bed
the sun will rise
and I will watch the sky light in your eyes
time will hold it´s breath and let us be
dust motes dancing in sunbeam memories
softly we will fall
like rain kissed leaves sun setting off the trees
maybe we will dream
the last star has faded into dawn

Cold silver

Cold silver
I close my eyes but I can´t sleep
far be it for me to dream
reality cuts too deep
how many tears I can´t remember
when last I fell this deep inside
cold silver on my skin
drawing me in
blood flows from my soul
and I´m free free free
of this
the meaning of life has dropped
behind my bed and
a pillow of sorrow holds my head
I´m looking at a picture hanging on the wall
inside my mind
and in it I am old and dying
and Gabriella´s dead
cold silver on my skin
drawing me in
blood flows from my soul
and I´m free free free
of this

Sugar bombs and shooting stars
close your eyes
and count to ten and maby
the bloodshed will be over
and flowers will grow
where the earth was stained red
chase the moon
the tide is coming in and we are drowning
this is not the answer
sugar bombs and shooting stars
drowning in unshed tears
the children are outside playing
with guns and bombs
playing dead
if we took those silver spoons
and put them in the mouths of those with nothing
this pain would soon be over
and they could lay down their guns
and go back to school
drowning in unshed tears
the children are outside playing
with guns and bombs
playing dead
close your eyes
and count to ten and maby
the bloodshed will be over
and flowers will grow where the earth
was stained red
this is not the answer
sugar bombs and shooting stars
sugar bombs and shooting stars

The softer side of breaking free
there was nothing left and you said go
but I wasn´t ready was not told
time and indifference had worn us out
and you were always the first
to figure these things out
plastic bags dancing in the breeze
the softer side of breaking free
and I will soar up there alone
breaking clouds, letting go
it doesn´t change the memories
of everything we used to be
precious every breath we took
together will be
and I have lost myself to you
and found myself in your eyes more beautiful
and we have shared more than our due
and I will not hold you down
plastic bags dancing in the breeze
the softer side of breaking free
and I will soar up there alone
breaking clouds, letting go
there was nothing left and you said go
and I am ready for the road
time and indifference has
worn us out
and I will not hold you down
no I will not hold you down

Lilly´s song
en tu vida larga espero que tengas
todo lo bonito y nada de malo
y cuando te caigas hay manos para cojerte
brazos para abrazarte, con besos para darte
que momentos de tristeza, están borrados de tu mente
ahogados con sonrisas y felicidad
espero que aprendas un millón de cosas
que alimentan tu curiosidad
pero ahora lo que espero
es que tengas dulce sueños
porque en este mismo momento
un estrella esta cayendo
por un lado
para ti
espero que nunca tengas miedo de ensuciarte las manos
llenarlas de barro y sentir las plantas crecer
que salgas de la puerta en el medio de la tormenta
para sentir la lluvia caer contra tu piel
espero que vives la salida y puesta del sol mil veces
y notas cada cambio de color
y nunca te olvides del amor de tu familia
no importa a donde andas
alcanzará llegar
pero ahora lo que espero
es que tengas dulce sueños
porque en este mismo momento
un estrella esta cayendo
por un lado
para ti

So happy

So happy
sitting here
watching the sun go down on you
waiting
for the stars to fall in your eyes
so blue
like the sea that´s rocking my boat
ooooh so happy to be here with you
ooooh so happy to be here with you
then the sun goes down the stars come out
to say hello
and we laugh at silly jokes
that aren´t really funny
and every time you smile
my heart it jumps a mile
ooooh so happy to be here with you
ooooh so happy to be here with you
then a boy comes in his handsome boat
and whisks you away from me
and I´m sitting all alone again
just me my boat and the sea
and I´m wondering wondering
why why why why
why do I always fall in love with straight girls
why do I always fall in love with straight girls
one day I will find a handsome dike
with short hair and hairy armpits
just like me
and we will buy a little house
with dogs and cats and keep bees
and talk about moterbikes
and drink lots of herbal tea
and I will be so very happy
to know she´ll never leave me
I will be so very happy
to know she´ll never leave me
why why why why
why do I always fall in love with straight girls
why do I always fall in love with straight girls
and I will never fall in love with another straight girl
I´ve got you

Borjas song
sitting on a bus watching the night go by
further from you
and memories are floating in my mind
well I am starting fresh again
and everything is new
I´m ready to be born again
but I am missing you
I am missing you
remember when we used to play
down by the bridge
and you would make the people laugh and I would sing
well I have lost a precious thing
further from you
and I have lost the will to sing
now I am missing you
I am missing you
one day we will meet again
down by the sea
and we will jump in off the rocks and swim naked and free
and I will dance barefoot upon the sand
as you salute the setting sun
the fire on the water falls
the elements as one
as we sing the setting sun
so I´m sitting on a bus watching the night go by
closer to you
and memories are floating in my mind

Street sweeper
I´m sitting in your empty room
early hours before the dawn
rain hits the windowsill
reflecting my mood
the silence of the streets
broken by an angry drunk
and the street sweeper´s hum
this empty house echos
with the scent of you
and lonely walls are screaming
whispered memories
all your things are gone and the
warmth is fading
rain hits the windowsill
reflecting my mood
the drunk has gone to bed
and the street sweeper turns a corner
slowly fading hum

Sweet dreams may follow

Sweet dreams may follow
leaving soon
like a pretty little wind blown tune
wanting to stay a little longer
with these nice people in this room
time to go
my eyelids are closing
the sound man wants to pack his things
so safe home
sweet dreams may follow
and I hope that you know
I´ve had fun
leaving soon
like a pretty little wind blown tune
floating away on the breeze
with you

Raised in Dublin, I have lived in cities such as Galway, Sydney, Bilbao and Barcelona. Influenced by different cultures,
artists and experiences, my music is a bit like me, eclectic and hard to define. Some would say folk, some indie, with maybe a touch of blues
My debut album Sugar Bombs and Shooting Stars is a celebration of adventure, friendships, love found, love lost, and infinite possibility
