No You Keep It

The Breath

Compositor: Stuart McCallum / Rioghnach Connolly

I wouldn't know another
As I heard them sleep at night
Wouldn't set you free to wander
When you could not always fight
She took you for a mother
Held you in her eye
If you could only need you
Weary of another’s arms

And you only nay, curse of now
Pulls at your chords, and curses down
You know that I know
And I know that you know

If she could not leave you
Holding on to me tight
If you could love another
Half as bright
So when if you lay your way down in night
Say a blessing for others
‘Fore you centre your strong light
Remember those others

And untangle me... Untangle me
From all the good it did for me
And all the suffering that it seen
You can keep it... You deserve it
Lord knows you’ve earned it
All the good it did for me
All the suffering that it seen
You can keep it... You deserve it
Lord knows you’ve earned it
