lyrics

As I went out to see my old love one more time, I thought again
Of all the times we had to talk about our deeds, but we failed
I've given most of my time to a job and to mundanities
And now, it's late, I fear, I'm slowly decaying by degrees

ref. And according to what I see, there is no sense
There is not much to say, there is no evidence
That life ain't no wasteland of broken down dreams
As far as the eye can see
We had such high hopes and we had money to spend
There was a world to gain, just there around the bend
There were fields of gold, valleys of milk and honey
As far as the eye can see

So day by day, our blood, our bones, our strength, our belief, our faith in God
Gets slowly deconstructed, eroded, and turns into mud
It's not that we decide to give up faith and courage all the way
It's just that points of view get blurred a little more day by day

ref.

Think about all those who died for no reason
Would you still say it's a wonderful life?
If there is one thing to say about mankind
There is nothing kind about man
Oh Lord, protect from those who bark your name
They're the most likely to kill me someday
I don't believe you go to Heaven when you're good
Everything goes to Hell anyway

ref.

So now I guess i'd better remain silent, I'm gone anyway
But please beware of your dreams, they will make your hair turn to grey

about

Ceili Moss Namur, Belgium

Red hot pan-European folk-rock. That’s how you might describe us in a few words. G.Williams (Widdershins) said it best: "They're not as punk as The Pogues, but they have a bit of that attitude and it gives them an edge many groups lack".

Original songs, mistreated traditionals, we take it all, put it in our cauldron and whoever says it's not "orthodox" or "as it should be" gets a smack bottom
