Lyrics by Helen Leahey
- Let Go
Verse
We’ve come a long long way
To sit and be here
I didn’t think we’d go
Share this place I know
Chorus
I fell in love here once before
Not with a man, but the shore
Still in your head you can’t let go
Of someone I just used to know
Verse
I wish that you could feel
What’s inside me now
I am here with you
Here I could say ‘I do’
Chorus
I fell in love here once before
Not with a man, but the shore
Please in your head just let go
Of someone I just used to know
Verse
This place it gives me peace
I am myself, at ease

- Lullaby for Broken Hearts (Chill Out Mix)
Lay down your weary head upon my chest
Forget all your troubles, try to rest
Yes it’s been hard, we were dealt rough cards
But now it’s time to sleep
Let me wipe away your tears, don’t be ashamed
I love you every part of you
No one is to blame
Life throws at you what it thinks you can go through
And learn to let go
Open the window, feel the breeze darling
You’re still here, you made it here till now
Every second counts that you don’t let go
You know it gets better
This sweet song I sing to me because no one else is here
I so wish, so wish it was
You bringing me cheer
I must let go, set you free
How life goes on, we will see…

- My Love (Chill Out Mix)
You don’t deserve my love
But you have it anyway
You don’t deserve my love
But it goes to you day by day
God knows I have tried to hate you
I’m no saint
But without knowing
I gave you something
I can never take back
You don’t need my love
But you have it anyway
You don’t need my love
But it goes to you day by day
God knows I have tried to forget you
I’ve slept in many a strange bed
But without knowing
I gave you something
I can never take back
You can’t feel my love
But you have it anyway
You can’t feel my love
But it goes to you day by day
Maybe all this suffering
Could have been worth while
But without knowing
I gave you something
I can never take back
(Repeat all x1)

- Waves
Come and swim child
We will go
Where the water is
Ice Cold
Swim here son
Now’s your chance
Take my milk
And you will last
Don’t be mild, child
Be bold
One day when you’re grown
I must go
Swim here son
Now’s your chance
Take my love
And you will last
You must last
In the next life
You may be
A little bird,
Light and free
Like your father
Long ago
Water and air
Is your home
We’re your home

- Fate
I feel sorry for being tired
So sick and tired
I feel sorry for being weak
So low and bleak
The truth reared its head
I’m ready for my bed
I wish you’d lie with me
What will be will be
Who is this man holding me?
I can’t believe what my eyes see
Is there a better place far from here?
Or is it my fate, to stay with you my dear?
I feel sorry for blinding signs
Easy to ignore
I feel sorry for believing
It was you I adored
The truth reared its head
I’m ready for my bed
I wish you’d lie with me
What will be will be
Who is this man holding me?
I can’t believe what my eyes see
Is there a better place far from here?
Or is it my fate, to stay with you my dear?

- Black is the Colour (Chill Out Mix)
Black is the colour
Of my true love’s hair
His eyes are dark, and full of care
The sweetest smile and the gentlest hands
I love the ground whereon he stands
I love my love, as well he knows
I love the ground whereon he goes
I hope and pray this day will come
Where he and I will be as one
I go to the Clyde
For to mourn and weep
For satisfied I never can be
I wrote him a letter
Just a few short lines
And suffered death ten thousand times
Black is the colour
Of my true love’s hair

- The Big Easy
Toch down in Louisiana
I’ve not been here before
We’re standing in a hyping crowd
Surrounded by pearls and big sound
Beauty, sparkles, glitter, all around
Seldom you see me dumbfound
Loving Life
In the Big Easy
New Orleans, the place
Everything is game
How I pine for
Not being the same
As every other person around
Own a dog with sunnies
Be a clown
Loving Life
In the Big Easy
Can you smell Jambalaya?
How you do a bit of Voodoo?
Lafayette Cemetery waits

- Our Song
In the heat of night we stand
Fingers linked hand in hand
Ran away from all our plans
Hoping to find land
Was it wrong what we did?
We’re no longer kids
This life, we ask is it ours?
Trust in higher powers
It feels so right now
How could this be wrong?
Even if it is so
This is our song
Should we do this?
Someday I’ll confess
I’ll buckle, break and stress
I was thinking only of me
What my life could be
Can distance bring sense
Or leave us in a mess
Healing together or apart?
The end or only the start?
It feels so right now
How could this be wrong?
Even if it is so
This is our song
Should we do this?
Instrumental
It feels so right now
How could this be wrong?
Even if it is so
This is our song

- Wild Cat
You got two strong legs they’re down with walking
You got luscious lips can do so much more than talking
When you sway those hips your youth you are flaunting
But hey baby are you missing my booty tonight?
Chorus
Wild Cat
Won’t you look at that?
Wild Cat
You have a way with words, no rehearsal
You’ve got the X factor which is universal
You know what to say when, how to do it
The thing that brings those to their knees who’ve not been through it
I’ve been around the block a few times baby
Princes, trolls and all the ‘maybes’
One thing I have learnt from skipping sheets
A man has to start the fire to keep the heat
You call me up at night when desire comes a’ knocking
I admit delight when I’m in the mood for bonking
I’ve got a few of you on speed dial
You dig the fit chicks but I know I’m ahead by a mile
There are lumps and bumps in many different places
You play with them with no airs or graces
You have a woman in your hands
Steadfast in life, don’t need you for her plans
Chorus
Wild Cat
Won’t you look at that?
Wild Cat
I’ll have a piece of that
Hey baby, it’s been a while
You want to meet up?
I’m not sure I’m rather busy…
Well if you can get yourself here, lets say in the next half hour
I could fit you in….
Bring me something, something nice
Please not flowers, I’m so bored of flowers
Think of me, what do you think I would like?

- Father
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me now?
Can you see me?
Can you see me now?
Oh Father heal me
Oh Father heal me now
Oh how I miss thee
Oh I miss thee now
Can you feel me?
Can you feel me now?
Can you save me?
Can you save me now?
Where art thou?
Where art thou now?
Did you look back when
You left us behind?

- Help Us
Help us Lord
Oh Lord please help us
We were just kids when we met
Not in body but in head
Both broken from lover’s past
Spare of the moment now must last
You say you wish life had showed you more
We were too soon, you’re not sure what for
I ask myself often the same thing, I was such a Dingalingaling
Oh Lord, help us
We were soon blessed with a child
God looks at us in the smiles
Did the big man up above
Give us this, the price was love?
You say you wish life had showed you more
We were too soon, you’re not sure what for
I ask myself often the same thing, I was such a Dingalingaling
Oh Lord, help us
Help us

- Sunrise (Chill Out Mix)
I’m walking along a sandy beach
Waves are crashing at my feet
The moon is stoic in the sky
I hear plucked strings in bars as I pass by
Lovers walk hand in hand
Not fazed by the chill in the air
I stretch out my fingers to catch the breeze
And imagine you are there
Chorus
Holding Me
And I am holding you
Loving Me
And I am loving too
I am yours, and you are mine
The only enemy is time
But the truth comes with the sunrise
I sit in a café by the pier
The waiter takes my order with a smile so sincere
It is obvious I am alone
Nowhere to go, nowhere to call home
I look for your eyes in strangers faces
Hoping to meet someone a bit like you
I’ve gone to so many far-off places
But nothing stops me remembering who was…
Chorus
Holding Me
And I was holding you
Loving Me
And I was loving too
I was yours, and you were mine
The only enemy was time
But the truth comes with the sunrise

- Vengeance of a Queen
Hold my shoes
See me dance now
Watch my glory
Limbs stretched and poised
In their fury
Do you want to dance?
I pour water on my fire
Try to hide my desire
A sweet note in between
Masks the vengeance of a Queen
If you’re lazy
Let go you’ll see
God in these hands
The strength in me
Do you want to dance?
I pour water on my fire
Try to hide my desire
A sweet note in between
Masks the vengeance of a Queen

- Space
Tik tik tok tik tik tok tik tok
Always running after the clock
Just give me a moments peace
I need some space to breath
Work work smile, work work smile, smile
This trial of sainthood lasts a while
Just give me a moment’s peace
I need some space to be
Overtime, overtime no time
Doing I want is a crime
Just give me a moment’s peace
I need some release
This way will one day lead
To me losing all that I need
Just give me a moment’s peace
I need some space to grieve
Space………
