about

Written during a wild and carefree time in turkey with a crew of beautiful Irish Pirates.

lyrics

A pirate boy just stole my heart with eyes so dep and green,
with is pixie Polish Irish ways and his love so sweet and free.
We nearly went to Istanbul but stayed in our treehouse instead,
and now he's set sail for Irish shores but he's taken my heart and left me this song.

To adventure with the Irish tribe to Chimera eternal flame,
And we laughed and danced and smoked and drank, nearly fell in love again,
And our souls had a chat and our heads agreed that our hands should never let go,
and now he's set sail for Irish shores but he's taken my heart and left me this song.

At Beltane fire we'll meet again to Avalon he'll come,
and we'll dance and laugh and drink and play and then I'll sing this song.
Till then we'll meet in our dreams and talk of balmy Turkish times,
One day I'll set sail for Irish shores,
But for now he has my heart and I have his song.

It is her humour and ability to tell a story, that really set her aside from other folk singers.
