lyrics

BANSHEE

When our time is running out
We hold on tight to what we’ve got
Like dying blossoms we must let things go
To fade away
They’ll come again another year
More beautiful, fresh and newly formed
And transient falling, falling in a somersault of joy, joy
Oh joy

We’re falling in a somersault of joy
We dive into a murky pool
Swim with the goldfish in the mud
The gift of risk and letting go
Returning with riches
Multiplying to the power of ten
The gift of risk and letting go
Surprise, surprise the weightlessness and freedom

Then the banshee took my hand and led me to another land
Across a band of azure sky
To a world where you and I
The friendless and the overworked
Could meet and share a moment so sublime
And timeless falling,
Falling in a somersault of joy
Oh joy

The yearning soul in her voice comes from her Irish folk roots (Boreen) but the warm velvet overtones arise from her jazz diva alter ego. (Jane O'Brien and Band, S.T.A.R.) ... more
