valerie vigoda - thaw / irish lullaby (live) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
all of my strength, all my pride, these two eyes of blue
everything i call my own first came from you

age five, i ask why the ice melts. “is it alive?”
you smile and talk to me as we drive
you say, “everything changes when winter’s gone
ice melts, and water flows on”

i looked around
at the snow on the ground

[verse 2]
and i saw the sun growing hotter
the ice cracking free
clear rushing water
as it raced toward the sea
past me

but then came the silence, the fury, the wars that we’d wage
and our house was colder than h+ll, heated only by rage

i grew tall and stopped asking why ’cause i knew it all
the ice thick between us, a solid wall
and you tried with fire, and you tried with steel
only to reveal
nature’s strange design
warmth can only come in time

[verse 3]
over in k!llarney, many years ago
my mother sang a song to me in tones so soft and low
just a simple little ditty in her good old irish way
and i’d give the world if she could sing that song to me this day

too+ra+loo+ra+loo+ral
too+ra+loo+ra+li
too+ra+loo+ra+loo+ral
hush now, don’t you cry
too+ra+loo+ra+loo+ral
too+ra+loo+ra+li
too+ra+loo+ra+loo+ral
that’s an irish lullaby

[verse 4]
and now the sun’s growing hotter (over in k!llarney)
the ice cracking free (many years ago)
clear rushing water (my mother sang a song to me)
from you to me (in tones so soft and low)

mother to daughter (just a simple little ditty)
the ice cracking free (in her good old irish way)
clear rushing water (and i’d give the world if she could sing)
from you to me (that song to me this day)
[outro]
too+ra+loo+ra+loo+ral
too+ra+loo+ra+li
too+ra+loo+ra+loo+ral
hush now, don’t you cry
too+ra+loo+ra+loo+ral
too+ra+loo+ra+li
