lyrics

Slan Abhaile

This fire smells of peat and reminds me of home
a place i've not lived but i've grown to love
from McGanns up in Doolin, to dingle bay
we conjured up music and we're carried away
by the sounds of Irish fiddle, the sound of Uillean pipes,
and the sound of the Irish whistle fills the air tonight
 
[chorus]
in our green island home, we were carried away
to a time when our fathers were living this way
with a pint in the evening to settle the score
we rise up singing till we’re human once more
 
we sang a song with Michael we sang a song with Mick
we sang a song for our old friend Tom who could sing the hell out of this
and we sang a song for Evie and we sang a song for Lil’
and we sang a song we could all sing along, we laughed and we had our fill 

[chorus]

[solo]
slainte mhaith mo chairde my friends
slan abhaile while you're travelling
slainte mhaith mo chairde one more round
slan abhaile homeward bound
 
green island home, we were carried away
to a time when our fathers were living this way
with a pint in the evening to settle the score
we rise up singing and we’re human once more
with a pint in the evening to settle the score
we rise up singing and we’re human once more
 
slainte mhaith mo chairde, slan abhaile,
slainte mhaith mo chairde, slan abhaile (6X)

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
