Adrift - Live

Lover, dear lover,
I've had a fell dream: my mother's adrift on the sea
She's none to protect her,
no oar and no sail -- there's no one to save her but me

Oisín, Oisín, lay down your fair head...
I've given you gold, and I've given my bed
And your mother lies sleeping, she's well and she's hale

Lover, dear lover, she's crying my name: my mother's adrift on the sea
She's none to protect her,
I cannot now fail -- there's no one to save her but me

Oisín, Oisín, another will come...
I've given you riches, I'll give you a son
Your mother is singing, she's well and she's hale

Lover, dear lover,
there are tears on her gown: my mother's adrift on the sea
My brothers have left,
I cannot now fail -- there's no one to save her but me

Oisín, Oisín, you've seen an untruth...
I've given you kingship, I've given you youth
Your mother has comfort, she's well and she's hale

Na wra gasa dha tava'n dor, dus tre dhe vy
Na wra gasa dha dus tre dhe vy, dha tava'n dor,
Na tava'n dor
