lyrics

LEAVING FOR COBH

STILL THERE’S FOOD IN THE FIELD, I HAVE LITTLE DOUBT
THEY’VE FOUND A SOLUTION FOR THINNING US OUT
NOW THE WORK HOUSE IS FULL, SO WE’RE PACKING IT UP
LEAVING FOR COBH IN THE MORNING

[CHORUS]
WE DRINK TO REMEMBER, WE DRINK TO FORGET
WE DRINK TO PUT REST, THE GHOSTS IN OUR HEAD
WHO REMIND US OF HOME AS WE SAIL TO NEW LANDS
WE’RE LEAVING FOR COBH IN THE MORNING

MA FELL TO THE HUNGER, THE NIGHT BEFORE LAST
SHE GAVE ALL SHE HAD TO CARE FOR THE REST
BUT THE LANDLORD HAS SAID THERE’LL BE NO ROOM WITHOUT RENT
SO WE’RE LEAVING FOR COBH IN THE MORNING

[CHORUS]
WE DRINK TO REMEMBER, WE DRINK TO FORGET
WE DRINK TO PUT REST, THE GHOSTS IN OUR HEAD
WHO REMIND US OF HOME AS WE SAIL TO NEW LANDS
WE’RE LEAVING FOR COBH IN THE MORNING

IN THE NIGHTS YOU CAN HEAR THE CARTS PASSING BY
DELIVERING LOVED ONES TO HOMES IN THE SKY
AND I CRY IN MY PILLOW AND ASK THE LORD WHY
WE’RE LEAVING FOR COBH IN THE MORNING

[CHORUS]
WE DRINK TO REMEMBER, WE DRINK TO FORGET
WE DRINK TO PUT REST, THE GHOSTS IN OUR HEAD
WHO REMIND US OF HOME AS WE SAIL TO NEW LANDS
WE’RE LEAVING FOR COBH IN THE MORNING

[CHORUS]
WE DRINK TO REMEMBER, WE DRINK TO FORGET
WE DRINK TO PUT REST, THE GHOSTS IN OUR HEAD
WHO REMIND US OF HOME AS WE SAIL TO NEW LANDS
WE’RE LEAVING FOR COBH IN THE MORNING

Moors & McCumber image

Moors & McCumber Boulder, Colorado

James Moors and Kort McCumber are Americana musicians who craft beautiful story songs that walk the line between rootsy folk and melodic pop. The two songwriters met at the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival in Lyons, CO in 2005. Sitting around swapping songs, they each heard something in the music of the other that just fit. The two have been performing and writing together ever since. ... more
