about

Based off Famine by Liam O'Flaherty

lyrics

Start at first section w/ no violin:

I know Pa's not going to make it
Just leave him on the dirt floor
I know Ma's not going to make it
That way Pa's not alone

We'll take the ship out of Galway
The famine can't follow us there
We'll take the ship out of Galway
The plague can't follow us there

Mary, look at your eyes
They're swollen red with tears
Mary, look at your eyes
Forever blue as Connemara Skies

The doctor succumbed to the plague
The English to the blame
The priests succumbed to pride
The people couldn't survive

--Break-- no singing during break w/o violin

Violin only verse:
I can see American shores
Gleaming on the horizon
You, me, and the babe
Chasing the horizon

Heartbeat - word on each beat

I could feel your heartbeat against mine the whole way
