4.Groningen
I came into this city on a cold winter's morn
Needing human comfort just to move along
I sang and played the music as in many towns before
Here I sang my heart out, you gave me so much more
Reminding me to live and love life with a smile
And all of my frustrations became worthwhile
In Groningen, in Groningen
When it was covered in snow
In Groningen, in Groningen
You had so many beauties I will never know
But your peace and your wisdom helping me grow
I came into this city on a cold winter's morn
Sang here every evening and I played to every dawn
The woman I met in the cafe touched me in the dark
Beloved through the morning and beloved in my heart
In Groningen, in Groningen
When it was covered in snow
In Groningen, in Groningen
You had so many beauties I will never know
But your peace and your wisdom helping me grow
6.Our Land
The love that I'm feeling in my heart
Is with me on this journey from the start
Deep within me,
Ireland
You gave the world your wisdom
And darkness, dead and gone
And then lying on your death bed
No help could be found
You fought to free your music
And you died to save your young
Tortured, raped and plundered,
Rose and rose and rose again
Too many people tell me
All you know is war
But I know you much better,
I feel what you are
Deep within me
The people that have hurt you
They've come to take again
But not with swords and rifles,
Notes and pens
America and England,
And Germany and France,
And Holland and Italy,
European nomads and everywhere
And the love that I'm feeling in my heart
Is with me on this journey from the start
Deep within me,
Ireland, Ireland, Ireland, Ireland
8.I'll Need Your Love
As the summer sun leads to autumn
There comes a time the harvest settles
When the winding road finds its destination
I'll need your love
Your love and your affection
There are white waves, strong waves
Reaching for the shore
And I've had long days, lonely days
Reaching for, for your love
Your love and your affection
Blackbird, songbird
Singing through the year
Line rows lost life
Wishing me near, near your love
Your love and your affection
