We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of the legendary Edna O’Brien, a beacon in Irish literature whose voice resonated with truth, courage, and unyielding passion. Her profound contributions to the literary world have left an indelible mark, inspiring generations of writers, poets and readers alike.19h
I sit and wait Does an angel contemplate my fate And do they know The places where we go When we’re grey and old ‘Cause I have been told That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I’m lying in my bed Thoughts running through my head And I feel the love is dead I’m loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection A lot of love and affection Whether I’m right or wrong And down the waterfall Wherever it may take me I know that life won’t break me When I come to call, she won’t forsake me I’m loving angels instead
When I’m feeling weak And my pain walks down a one way street I look above
And I know I’ll always be blessed with love And as the feeling grows She breathes flesh to my bones And when love is dead
I’m loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection A lot of love and affection Whether I’m right or wrong And down the waterfall Wherever it may take me I know that life won’t break me When I come to call, she won’t forsake me
I’m loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection A lot of love and affection Whether I’m right or wrong And down the waterfall Wherever it may take me I know that life won’t break me When I come to call, she won’t forsake me I’m loving angels instead
You’re feeling nervous, aren’t you, boy? With your quiet voice and impeccable style Don’t ever let them steal your joy And your gentle ways To keep ’em from running wild
They can kick dirt in your face Dress you down, and tell you that your place Is in the middle, when they hate the way you shine
I see you tugging on your shirt Trying to hide inside of it And hide how much it hurts
Let ’em laugh while they can Let ’em spin, let ’em scatter in the wind I have been to the movies, I’ve seen how it ends And the joke’s on them
You get discouraged, don’t you, girl? It’s your brother’s world for a while longer We gotta dance with the devil on a river To beat the stream Call it living the dream, call it kicking the ladder
They come to kick dirt in your face To call you weak and then displace you After carrying your baby on your back across the desert I saw your eyes behind your hair And you’re looking tired, but you don’t look scared
Let ’em laugh while they can Let ’em spin, let ’em scatter in the wind I have been to the movies, I’ve seen how it ends And the joke’s on them
Let ’em laugh while they can Let ’em spin, let ’em scatter in the wind I have been to the movies, I’ve seen how it ends And the joke’s on them
Last night as I lay dreamin’ Of pleasant days gone by Me mind bein’ bent on rambling To Ireland I did fly I stepped on board a vision and I followed with the wind Till first I came to anchor at The cross at Spancil Hill
It being the 23rd of June The day before the fair Where Ireland’s sons and daughters And friends assembled there The young, the old The brave and the bold came Their duty to fulfill At the parish church near Clooney A mile from Spancil Hill
I went to see my neighbours to See what they might say The old ones were all dead and gone The young ones turning grey I met the tailor Quigley He’s as bold as ever still He used to mend my britches when I lived in Spancil Hill
I took a flying visit to my one and only love She’s as white as any lily As gentle as a dove She threw her arms around Me, saying “Johnny, i love you still” She is Nell, the farmer’s daughter The pride of Spancil Hill
I dreamt I held and kissed her As in the days of old Saying, “Johnny, you’re only joking As many’s the time before” But the cock, he crew in the morning He crew both loud and shrill I awoke in California Many miles from Spancil Hill

I’ve worn out the stones in front of your doorstep Coming and going, coming and going You kept the lights on, I always knew that I should’ve said “thank you” a thousand miles ago But I pushed you away, put a pin in a map Then I got lost in the storm
Had to find my own way, make my own mistakes But you know that I had to go Ain’t no yellow brick road running through Glasgow But I found one that’s stronger than stone Ain’t no place like home, ain’t no place like home
Moon hanging low over my window Shoebox of dreams hid under my bed Follow the bright light city of gold I had to leave to realize all I needed was here Mama, we both know that there’s nothing That a little time and Patsy Cline wouldn’t fix
Had to find my own way, make my own mistakes But you know that I had to go Ain’t no yellow brick road running through Glasgow But I found one that’s stronger than stone Ain’t no place like home, ain’t no place like home
I’ll just click my heels three more times There it all is, what’s always been mine
Ain’t no yellow brick road running through Glasgow But I found one that’s stronger than stone Ain’t no place like home, ain’t no place like home Ain’t no place like home, ain’t no place like home
Ain’t no place like home, ain’t no place like home
When you feel your love’s been taken When you know there’s something missing In the dark, we’re barely hanging on Then you rest your head upon my chest And you feel like there ain’t nothing left I’m afraid that what we had is gone
Then I think of the start And it echoes a spark And I remember the magic electricity Then I look in my heart There’s a light in the dark Still a flicker of hope that you first gave to me That I wanna keep Please don’t leave Please don’t leave
When you lay there and you’re sleeping Hear the patterns of your breathing And I tell you things you’ve never heard before Asking questions to the ceiling Never knowing what you’re thinking I’m afraid that what we had is gone
Then I think of the start And it echoes a spark And I remember the magic electricity Then I look in my heart There’s a light in the dark Still a flicker of hope that you first gave to me That I wanna keep Please don’t leave Please don’t leave
And I want this to pass And I hope this won’t last Last too long
Then I think of the start And it echoes a spark And I remember the magic electricity Then I look in my heart There’s a light in the dark Still a flicker of hope that you first gave to me That I wanna keep Please don’t leave Please don’t leave
