immigration. Refugees. My Irish ancestors. It's deeply disturbing that some of their descendants now want to close the door lit by LadyLiberty's lamp.
For Dana.
lyrics
Your heart
Your voice
Your touch
Your choice
Echo down through the years
Though all the laughter&tears
I loved you
Like you hoped for
Your love kept me
Steady towards this foreign shore
Hear you down through the years
Though all the laughter&tears
I held close to you
You held close to me yeah
Out on that wild stormy sea yeah
Winds they shift
Comin' for you
You fell into my eyes
You knew I'd carry you
Felt you as you slipped away
Yeah that's it there's no more to say
For the kids and me
You smiled, you said, "No"
Your sisters they were singing
I felt you let go
Felt you as you slipped away
Yeah that's it there's no more to say
I held close to you
You held close to me yeah
Out on that wild stormy sea yeah
For anyone lookin' It was plain to know
It was so clear we loved each other so
There's a promise oh yeah
That you'll be there
In the, oh, the whisper
My heart can hear
Hear you down through the years
Though all the laughter&tears
I held close to you
You held close to me yeah
Out on that wild stormy sea yeah
I held close to you
You held close to me yeah
