Literature Text

Oh, my sweet
Spread your wings and fly
Look ahead with a smile
So begins your new life
I’ll wave goodbye
Wait here until we next meet
And to all above us
These words I will speak

May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow
May trouble avoid you
Wherever you go
And should it ever find you
I want you to know
I am always here
When you want to come home

You will be all right
I’ll hold that prayer to my heart
Hoping it’s only the best
That follows your new start
Though we’re apart
I’ll wait until we next meet
And to all above us
These words I will speak

May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow
May trouble avoid you
Wherever you go
And should it ever find you
I want you to know
I am always here
When you want to come home

Take all my love with you
It’s yours forever to keep
And if you ever get homesick
Right here is where I’ll be

May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow
May trouble avoid you
Wherever you go
And should it ever find you
I want you to know
I am always here
When you want to come home
The first four lines of the chorus is an Irish blessing:

May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow
May trouble avoid you
Wherever you go


I really like it and have been thinking about it lately.

I love it! Tard OMG Emote Where did you hear that before? I like to collect quotes and stuff and I'm always looking for more.

You should listen to the Wailin' Jenny's, Katzenjammer and Welcome to the Circus by Skittish. They do a lot of folk songs and other stuff. I honestly don't know how else to describe the music they make, it's not really like any other band I've listened to. :shrug: rvmp
