Aoife (Get him away)

Aoife knew exactly who she wanted to be
33 and working on a PhD at Queen's
Joined some fora for the craic and to blow off some steam
Maybe even finally find her chosen family

Friendship blossomed with Kate from Co. Clare
Saw Aoife like a sister, soon began to share
Her deepest secrets and the depths of her despair
The more that Aoife heard, the more that she got scared

Téann tú síos an cosán caol
A shaol nó do shaol
Féach ar an compás
A bhás nó do bhás

Take a shеll from the shore and head inland
Raisе it to your ear; you'll still hear the sea
Kate entendait les vagues loin du rivage
"C'est les démons, c'est pas mon cher mari"

Love cannot exist
When backed up with clenched fists
She tried to make you see
She had to get him away from ye

Téann tú síos an cosán caol
Do shaol nó a shaol
Féach ar an compás
A bhás nó do bhás

Goes without saying I rather
One fewer man like my father
So you'll never see me grieve
Though I never could believe
That's the way he'd choose to leave
Body drifting off to sea
As you drifted off to sleep

Your widow's remorse
Our friendship ran its course
You cursed me, I grieved
I had to get him away from ye

I knew who I wanted to be
Though I'd only turned thirteen
Never thought that's how he'd leave
But I got him away from ye
