aoife o'donovan - transatlantic lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1: o’donovan/o’donovan, drever]
you fell asleep with your head down
i fell asleep saying please
the banjos and fiddles played breakdowns
and we slept like babies

[verse 2: o’donovan/o’donovan, drever]
out in the bar room you sang songs
songs from another time
and when you got the words wrong
i woke up and sang your lines

[chorus: o’donovan, drever]
you take the high road + and i’ll take the low road
i’ll get there before you
we’ll make it to scotland
or have we forgotten what we’re going there for?

[verse 3: o’donovan/o’donovan, drever]
you fell in love with your hands out
your hands made a peace sign
so i fell apart when you pulled out
we ought to try to try

[verse 4: o’donovan, drever]
everything’s broken around me
the heather dies when i pass
the sky looks like a foundry
where my heart is metal cast
[chorus: o’donovan, drever]
you take the high road + and i’ll take the low road
i’ll get there before you
we’ll make it to scotland
or have we forgotten what we’re going there for?

[bridge: o’donovan]
i’ll swim ‘cross the coldest sea
in a transatlantic reverie
just to see your face when i wash up
on the barren shores of skye
then to the lowlands we’ll fly
take my hand, walk side by side
side by side

[verse 5: o’donovan/o’donovan, drever]
jamie, try me
pour me another i’m dry
hold on to whatever will be
and we’ll raise our glasses high

[chorus: o’donovan, drever]
you take the high road + and i’ll take the low road
i’ll get there before you
we’ll make it to scotland
or have we forgotten what we’re going there for?
