‘Derry is such a beautiful city. I’ve fallen in love with it over the past year, while falling in love with a woman who hails from it. Here’s to better times ahead and saying goodbye to bombs and bullets once and for all.’ – Lyra McKee Today we stand with her, & Derry & Belfast.

Oh, my life is changing everyday In every possible way And oh, my dreams It’s never quite as it seems Never quite as it seems
I know I felt like this before But now I’m feeling it even more Because it came from you Then I open up and see The person falling here is me A different way to be
Aah, la-ah-la-ah La-la-la La-ah-la-ah
I want more, impossible to ignore Impossible to ignore And they’ll come true Impossible not to do Possible not to do
And now I tell you openly You have my heart so don’t hurt me You’re what I couldn’t find A totally amazing mind So understanding and so kind You’re everything to me
Oh, my life is changing everyday In every possible way And oh, my dreams It’s never quite as it seems ‘Cause you’re a dream to me Dream to me

Her eyes and words are so icy Oh but she burns Like rum on the fire Hot and fast and angry as she can be I walk my days on a wire.
It looks ugly, but it’s clean, Oh momma, don’t fuss over me.
The way she tells me I’m hers and she is mine Open hand or closed fist would be fine The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.
Calls of guilty thrown at me All while she stains The sheets of some other Thrown at me so powerfully Just like she throws with the arm of her brother.
But I want it It’s a crime That she’s not around most of the time.
The way she shows me I’m hers and she is mine Open hand or closed fist would be fine Blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.
Her fight and fury is fiery Oh but she loves Like sleep to the freezing Sweet and right and merciful I’m all but washed In the tide of her breathing.
And it’s worth it, it’s divine I have this some of the time.
The way she shows me I’m hers and she is mine Open hand or closed fist would be fine The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.
Just before our love got lost you said I am as constant as a northern star And I said, constant in the darkness
Lyrics
Just before our love got lost you said “I am as constant as a northern star” And I said, “Constantly in the darkness Where’s that at? If you want me I’ll be in the bar”
On the back of a cartoon coaster In the blue TV screen light I drew a map of Canada Oh, Canada With your face sketched on it twice
Oh, you’re in my blood like holy wine You taste so bitter and so sweet Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling And I would still be on my feet Oh, I would still be on my feet
Oh, I am a lonely painter I live in a box of paints I’m frightened by the devil And I’m drawn to those ones that ain’t afraid
I remember that time you told me You said, “Love is touching souls” Surely you touched mine ‘Cause part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time
Oh, you’re in my blood like holy wine You taste so bitter and so sweet Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling Still I’d be on my feet I would still be on my feet
I met a woman She had a mouth like yours She knew your life She knew your devils and your deeds And she said, “Go to him, stay with him if you can But be prepared to bleed”
Oh, but you are in my blood You’re my holy wine You’re so bitter Bitter and so sweet Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling Still I’d be on my feet I would still be on my feet
