Aoife O’DonovanAbout
“I started writing Transatlantic many years ago – after one of my frequent trips across the pond. The lyric started as a classic love song, but when I dusted it off to complete it for this project with the Irish Arts Center, it became something different. I felt strangely moved by the nostalgia and...
Transatlantic Lyrics
[Verse 1: O'Donovan/O'Donovan, Drever]
You fell asleep with your head down
I fell asleep saying please
The banjos and fiddles played breakdowns
And we slept like babies
[Verse 2: O'Donovan/O'Donovan, Drever]
Out in the bar room you sang songs
Songs from another time
And when you got the words wrong
I woke up and sang your lines
[Chorus: O'Donovan, Drever]
You take the high road - and I'll take the low road
I'll get there before you
We'll make it to Scotland
Or have we forgotten what we're going there for?
[Verse 3: O'Donovan/O'Donovan, Drever]
You fell in love with your hands out
Your hands made a peace sign
So I fell apart when you pulled out
We ought to try to try
[Verse 4: O'Donovan, Drever]
Everything's broken around me
The heather dies when I pass
The sky looks like a foundry
Where my heart is metal cast
[Chorus: O'Donovan, Drever]
You take the high road - and I'll take the low road
I'll get there before you
We'll make it to Scotland
Or have we forgotten what we're going there for?
[Bridge: O'Donovan]
I'll swim 'cross the coldest sea
In a transatlantic reverie
Just to see your face when I wash up
On the barren shores of Skye
Then to the lowlands we'll fly
Take my hand, walk side by side
Side by side
[Verse 5: O'Donovan/O'Donovan, Drever]
Jamie, try me
Pour me another I'm dry
Hold on to whatever will be
And we'll raise our glasses high
[Chorus: O'Donovan, Drever]
You take the high road - and I'll take the low road
I'll get there before you
We'll make it to Scotland
Or have we forgotten what we're going there for?
