Spring: Four Songs for Voice and Piano - 2. Tir na nOg

In my dreams there's a breeze that billows around us, guarding And we are there, floating away from everything we know Clothed in nothing but each other And all we hear is the sound of our own breathing Steady breaths, greedy gasps, escaping sighs Everything is white and clear, pure and full Until the moment we collide! And our hearts burst! Showering the world with everything we beheld We see into each other deeply, deeply And nothing is ever the same. Login to get a copy of the score.
