"How Are Things In Glocca Morra? / Heather On The Hill"
I hear a bird
Londonderry bird
It, well, may be he's bringing me a cheering word
I hear a breeze
A river Shannon breeze
It, well, may be it's followed me across the seas
Then tell me please
How are things in Glocca Morra?
Is that little brook still leaping there?
Does it still run down to Donny Cove
Through Kenny banks, Kilcarrey and Kildare?
How are things in Glocca Morra?
Is that willow tree still weeping there?
Does that laddy with the twinkling eye
Come whistling by?
And does he walk away
Sad and dreamy there
Not to see me there?
So I ask each weeping willow
And each brook along the way
And each lad that comes a whistling to relay
How are things in Glocca Morra this fine day?
The mist of May is in the gloaming
And all the clouds are holding still
So, take my hand and let's go roaming
Through the heather on the hill
The morning dew is blinking yonder
There's lazy music in the air
And all I want to do is wander
Through the heather on the hill
There may be other days as rich and rare
There may be other springs as full and fare
But they won't be the same
They'll come and go
But this I must know
How are things in Glocca Morra?
Is that laddy calling to relay?
Will we meet in Glocca Morra some fine day?
Some fine day

Dan Hill - "Sometimes When We Touch" You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie

I've been passing time watching trains go by
All of my life

My love has come along
My lonely days are over
