Going Gone - Without The Fanfare

There is a lighthouse in the harbour Giving guidance with its light But i have no one to turn to As i wander through life From the first time that i saw you Standing silent by the shore I know my search was over And i would look for love no more Chorus Deep in […]

Diamond Days - Without The Fanfare

I have written this song For you to take with you When you go away Something to sing and slowly swing to On your colder days I have made a start With a verse and a chorus The rest i leave to you And when next i see your smiling face We might sing it […]

As I Leave Behind Neidin - Without The Fanfare

As i leave behind néidín It’s like purple splashed on green My soul is strangely fed Through the winding hills ahead And she plays a melody On wind and streams for me Chorus Won’t you remember Won’t you remember Won’t you remember me Won’t you remember Won’t you remember Won’t you remember me And we […]

Without The Fanfare - Without The Fanfare

I know it’s the same old song i’m singing But this time these words are just for you That’s the only thing that’s new I know that i’ve sung about a million Borrowed lines and phrases from a few This one’s till as good as new Without the fanfare i love you By day i […]

I The water is wide, i can’t cross o’er Ad neither have i wings to fly Give me a boat that can carry two And we shall row, my love and i Ii For love is gentle, and love is kind The sweetest flower when first it’s new But love grows old and waxes cold […]

Greatest Dream - Without The Fanfare

I Seems like the morning lights hereafter Can weigh much more than you can hold Somehow tomorrow’s lines and laughter Can turn around and look so cold Ii And you can hang your head in sorrow The restless nights when troubles come And stand alone and face tomorrow And know not why but what has […]

The Crow On The Cradle - Without The Fanfare

The sheep’s in the meadow The cow’s in the corn Now is the time for a child to be born You’ll laugh at the moon and you’ll cry for the sun And if it’s a boy he’ll carry a gun Sang the crow on the cradle And if it should be that this baby’s a […]

Nightime - Without The Fanfare

I City walls where the neon spits as it falls Two dark shadows fade in the night This is no place for love And in the park where the streetlight kisses the dark Silent waves and times they’re own They’ll have their own way now Ii In the nighttime neon sunset leaps Out of the […]
