lyrics

Castor Bay

When I was a boy we used to go down to Castor Bay
Lay our nets for the salmon and the Dollaghan trout as we rowed against the mighty waves
I was fearless in a squall I’d set my shoulders to the oars
Doing what I’d been taught by my Pa my heart anchored to the shore

We had McStay’s soda bread butter in the pan
Water from the well really made the man
Lie upon lie and yarn upon yarn we’d be up all night
Wish I could be there now

The morning brought barrels of fire there were gunmen and geese
We caught goldfinches and bullfinches in traps laden with seed
We had McStay’s soda bread butter in the pan
Water from the well really made the man
Lie upon lie and yarn upon yarn we’d be up all night
Wish I could be there now

Pour a little whiskey in the jar let the curtains come down
As the shields we used to beat back life lay abandoned on the ground
As some truths get told and some fears are named
Like brothers we share the secrets that we’ll carry to the grave

We had McStay’s soda bread butter in the pan
Water from the well really made the man
Lie upon lie and yarn upon yarn we’d be up all night
Wish I could be there now

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
