You're far away now
as I listen to your voice
which is all that remains
of you to me
It is many a year now
since we met
in the roadside house
below the heathery hill
Your voice came to me
through the darkness
your kindness
shone through
Music was your life
creation your being
the sea your home
the open skies your soundboard
Dancing the roads
like the old dannsa rathad
singing like a songlark
your happiness remains
The Window on the West
was a window onto you
your faithful companion
always by your side
Swim strong, mermaid
you'll be waiting
when the time comes
for the black one to rejoin you
