lyrics

SONG ABOUT A LOVE...
© Martin Praetorius

I wear this ring on my finger
Cause it reminds me of you
There's a light in the window
But that car in the drive don't belong to you

Since you left me I ain't seen sunshine
Just the dark clouds rolling in
But the dark clouds, they won't tell me
Where you're going and where you've been

It's a mad thing, it's a sweet thing
When love comes sneaking up on you
But it's a sad thing when the mood swings
And love turns around and leaves you blue

For 40 days and 40 nights now
I've had sadness on my heals
She's a skinny looking wreck, I'd rather have the devil on my back
But she sure makes me feel the way it feels
Ah, somebody help me...

It's a mad thing, it's a sweet thing
When love comes sneaking up on you
But it's a sad thing when the mood swings
And love turns around and leaves you blue

There's been wind and there's been thunder
There's been any kind of sleet and hail and rain
Oh and sometimes I do wonder
If I ever gonna see sunshine again
If I ever see your sweet face again

Winter Sun
by Fiachna O Braonain

supported by 4 fans who also own “Song about a love”

Fiachna Winter Sun just brings me to my knees. The fiddle and flute completely summons my core to the submission of such beauty. Just played this again after your performance with Tom Dunne and Alan Conner on The Late Late Show. Your energy on the trad song was incredible. Still grappling with a continent and an ocean keeping me at bay with the gigs of humanity being right there in Ireland. Dont Stop! David and Delfina Hernandez
