Words and music by katell keineg

If you could fill a veil with shells from killiney's shore
And sweet talk in a tongue that is no more
If wishful thought could bridge
The gulf of araby
Between what is
What is
What is
And what can never be

If you could hold the frozen flow of new hope creek
And hide out from the one they said you might meet
If you could unlearn all the words
That you never wanted heard
If you could stall the southern wind
That's whistling in your ears
You could take what is
What is
What is
What is
To what can never be

One man of seventy whispers free at last
Two neighbors who are proud of their massacres
Three tyrants torn away in a winter's month
Four prisoners framed by a dirty judge
Five burned with tyres

Six men still inside
And seven more days to shake at the great divide

The gulfthe gulf of araby
The gulfthe gulf of araby

Wellwe would plough and part the earth to bring you home
And harvest every miracle ever known
If they laid out all the things
That these ten years want to bring
We would gladly give them up
To bring you back to us
Othere is nothing we would not give
To kiss you and believe you can take what is
What is
What is
To what can never be

One man of seventy whispers not free yet
Two neighbors who make up knee-deep in their dead
Three tyrants torn away in the summer's heat
Four prisoners lost in the fallacy
Fiveon my life
And sixI'm dead inside
And seven more days to shake at the great divide

The gulfthe gulf of araby
The gulfthe gulf of araby
