Every time (When We Are Gone).

Every time (When We Are Gone).

Lyrics: Thomas Richard Paxton.
Vocals: American folk singer-songwriter and guitarist Tom Paxton.

Every time (When We Are Gone).

Every time I hear a sweet bird singing,
I think of you and I my dear,
I think of you and I.
When I hear the evening bells a-ringing,
I hang my head and cry my dear,
I hang my head and cry.

And they will ring,
And they will ri – i – g,
When we are gone.

Every time I hear your soft voice humming,
My heart jumps in my breast my dear,
My heart jumps in my breast.
And until I hear your footsteps coming,
I sure can know no rest my dear,
I sure can know no rest.

I will love you.
I will love you – ou – ou.
When we are gone.
I will love you.
I will love you – ou – ou,
When we are gone.

A Song For A Sunday.

Reconciliation.

Lyrics: Cork born, Irish singer, songwriter, guitarist, multi-instrumentalist and band leader, the late Ron Kavana [Ronnie Kavanagh 1950 – 2024].
Note: Ron Kavana opened several tours for North Tipperary resident, the late Shane MacGowan (The Pogues).
Vocals: Ger and Katie (Ger O’Donnell Music).

Reconciliation.

When summertime has gone,
And autumn winds are threatening,
To blow our love away,
Then love will be tested.
Arm in arm we’ll stand,
Side by side together,
To face the common foe,
That would tear our love asunder.

Chorus.
Tu ra lura lay,
Tura lura laddie,
Tu ra lura lay,
Tu ra lay.

Now ye fair-weathered friend,
Where are you now I need you.
Gone like the autumn sun,
On a dark December morning.
When hard times come around,
Like cold and stormy weather
It’s only you and I,
To Shelter one another

Repeat Chorus

Now there’s a time to fight,
And there’s a time for healing.
As the sun will melt the snow,
On a clear, bright April mornings.
Our fight has run its course,
Now let us start the healing,
And let us both embrace,
Sweet reconciliation.

Repeat Chorus Twice.
