i long with deep longing,
to speak to her,
to let speak my other way of being,
again,
i long with deep longing,
for the deepest place, to speak,
i long to let it come,
to let it come on strong,
i long to let it dance,
i long for the beauty to be embraced,
known, seen, felt, heard, tasted,
where is the courage,
where is the path,
where is the song,
where is the dance,
i long beyond longing,
i would speak such beauty,
i would speak such passion,
i would speak such life,
i would speak,
to let sing the life within,
to let sing the heart within,
to let sing the hunger,
it has been years, years,
and every once in a while,
i return here, to this place,
to sing the dance,
to speak the love,
to remember,
so much has passed and lost,
so much has come and gone
and i almost cannot remember,
yet i cannot forget,
where is she,
where is she, today,
i wonder, i wonder still,
where is she,
i did what i did,
i trusted, i gave, i expressed,
i shared heart and hearth,
i shared dream and soul,
tears were shed,
truths revealed,
a walk ventured,
i cry today, inside,
i cry today,
where is she,

By a lonely prison wall
I heard a sweet voice calling,
'Oh Danny, they have taken you away.
for you stole Travelian's corn,
that your babes might see the dawn,
now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.'
... chorus ...
Fair lie the fields of Athenry
where we stood to watch the small freebirds fly.
Our love grew with the spring,
we had dreams and songs to sing
as we wandered through the fields of Athenry.

I heard a young man calling
'nothing matters, Jenny, when your'e free
'gainst the famine and the crown,
I rebelled, they ran me down,
now you must raise our children without me.'
On the windswept harbour wall,
she watched the last star rising
as the prison ship sailed out accross the sky
But she will watch and hope and pray,
for her love in Botany bay
whilst she is lonely in the fields of Athenry
~ Irish Ballad 1880 ~

where have you been, my dear
long lost love, my dear one,
my dear love, my kind one,
where is your heart,
where are you dreams,
where is your soul,
i have been so lost without
you, without you in my life,
where is your path,
what stars light your night,
what winds blow your hair,
what moon courts your world,
where are you,
~ shadow ~
