a song...

...written with Klaus Caprani on Inis oir. You can see Klaus performing it at the Copenhagen songwriter festival on my facebook page (link at bottom)

Walking on stones

Drone of the ferry

Fading into mist

Remembering the first time we kissed

Church bell sings it’s lonely lament

Wondring where it’s congregation went

Wonder where it’s congregation went

Hear the seagulls laugh

As I’m walking on the stones

Walking on the stones alone

Still hear them laughing

When you waved at the waves

Guess they never thought you wouldn’t stay

Guess I never thought you’d go away

Chorus

And the souls of the fishermen departed

I know they’re taking care of you for me

Walking on stones on a kinder shore

Walking on stones lightly

Warm of the sweater

Every stitch from your hand

Unravels like the maker’s plan

Always with me

Fading with me

Till the day I rest my tired bones

Hand in hand – walking on the stones

Bridge

Used to run from stone to stone

How I never broke a bone

God knows – god knows

Used to run from stone to stone

How I never broke a bone

God knows –God knows

Chorus

Chorus

Drone of the ferry

Disappears into mist

Remembering the first time we kissed

Remembering the last time we kissed
