Dermot Kennedy - For Island Fires And Family Lyrics
How it must feel to be a bird
Roam lonely over sea air
How it must feel to be a bird
London, Paris under me
I'll wait on my own here
I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry
And no, you couldn't tell me enough that you loved me
She's bringing the moon and the stars to me
Damn permanent revery
And even though this life, this love is brief
I've got some people who carry me
Wasn't it love as soon as we knew each other properly?
Living 'bout half right, until a certain person got to me
How it ought to be
Under the moonlight
On a clear night
On rooftops is where I want to be
Some times I'm like a child
It's something I can't release
Dreams of her coming home, sweet home
I'm telling you home's so sweet
Said you reminded me of the summer times
I still mean that
In a full room I'm the only one she's smiling at
Wouldn't you let me know if you were thinking less of me?
That's what she asked me what was promised what we both agreed
Truthfully if you ever go, you'll drop me straight to Hell's 7th circle
And I was talking with you earlier
We were open and vulnerable, it was wonderful
I, I used to dream that you would talk to me
I used to dream that you would talk to me
I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry
And no, you couldn't tell me enough that you loved me
She's bringing the moon and the stars to me
Damn permanent revery
And even though this life, this love is brief
I've got some people who carry me
Know that feeling when you think your heart is gonna come right out through your shirt?
I get it a couple times a year but I've been getting it more often with her
When I'm face to face with death I'll grab his throat
And ask him, "how does it hurt?"
In those golden moments growing old too quickly
Was he thinking of her?
She's bringing the moon and the stars to me
Damn permanent revery
And even though this life, this love is brief
I've got some people who carry me

Wow I'm saddened, so saddened....my daughter and I had planned our meet n greet in St. Louis in 2020, we were literally spending $ we didn't have to get the tickets, LOL but then an actual necessity arose with medical needs, tests, gas to and from Children's Hospital in St. Louis for her son Parker, so of course our plans have been changed and we will not be able to go, nonetheless attend the meet and greet. It's been a trying year for us and we've been diligent in making it through some depressive times, however, we will definitely put you on our wish list for the future. Please know, Dermot, that your music has led us through time n time again. We connect with lyrics and have spent countless hours listening, watching videos and interviews, etc...we will continue our late night rituals! 😉 we're diehard fans! We wish you a successful tour and safe travels spreading your beautiful and heartfelt music, allowing your fans to feel every emotion, every moment...bring smiles to the souls of all who appreciate and adore you!

Outstanding !!!! 💜🙏🏻👍
I followed the sound
Of several birds, who spoke of you, without ye' words..
a little song
With highest tune
They circled the sky'
Beneath the moon
Their nests awaited
A feathers rest
I felt there strongest
Within my chest
Your beating heart
A love so strong
it lead me home
Where you belong
Now every night
I hear them sing
And to my heart
they come to bring
A peaceful rest and warm reside
With you my lover
At my side
As every morning sun
To rise, I see their beauty
Within your eyes
And so on feathers they do fly, and sing of love
Within the sky'
Songs of you and songs of I, in highest tune
And words of nigh'.
This is the best one. Touch my soul, my heart, my everything.
How in the hell do you not have 100 million subs.. You have beautiful music. Much love from Texas!!!

I can't explain how much this song has moved me, I feel different from listening to it and it is consuming me - I feel my soul - you dermot are a genius - Thank you x
Thanks Kimberly, I agree with you that Dermot is a brilliant songwriter, lyricist and singer. He deserves the success that he gets. His voice sends a shiver down my spine.
Hallo Dermot hore mir gerade dein Album an.Deine Stimme gefällt mir so gut,sie spiegelt deine Heimat wieder.Man sagt Irland sei rau und Mythisch einfach wunderschön wie deine Stimme uns Texte.I Love you vielen dank für deine Songs♥♥♥♥♥♥
I think it's funny Dermot covered ed.
Glory had some spins but his new stuff is on pretty regularly.
Think in a year or two Ed will be covering Dermot.

My favourite artist
This song got me missing someone I never met
Man, i don't how to discribe... You know, there are so many voices outthere, superstars, we hear every day. And then boom, i hear your voice in the radio a few months ago for first time and i thought, oh my god who is this guy? That was power over me. I am from austria. And 2 weeks ago i heard outnumbered. I don't find the right words to explain what i felt in this moment. So today, i woke up and i listened to all of your videos, live sessions and you just blew me away. And then there was "for island fires and family, dude i had teardrops in my eyes and i can't remember, if that had ever happened before!!! There are singers, they touch you in one or two moments of the song, but you, man, oh my god, every single word you sing touches the heart so hard, i never had this emotional feelings since freddie mercury. Your voice is so full of pain and feeling and it's so real. My english is not so good, but i had to tell you. You are amazing, i can't wait to see you in austria and i am so thankfull, that you share your voice with the world! Music is everything for me, thank you so much to give us these feelings. You go straight to the top, and up there you will stay there and take place as a forever living legend, right beside freddie! Thank you so much!!!!
I love when non English native speakers say their English isn't very good but write more coherent sentences than most people I know.
Please, don´t ever change, Dermot. World needs more artists like you. Bless u.
Can't stress how much I'm in love with DERMOT KENNEDY 😭
Next level song writing ..blows my mind every time I listen to it 🤯 “I’ve got some people who’ll carry me”
absolutely beautiful in every way possible
Come sing for us on the West Coast! Please! We will show up and sing along. A true cailleach!
This man's voice makes my soul ache for so many lost to me and memories both good and bad of an Ireland back then and now. His voice is an anguished cry of our history....
Some don't hear what the other never wants the other to know that they are valid and feeling the way they truly do! I'm tired of being lied to now I have a plan to break free of this chain and I will when all is in order to do so. Wrong ppl never see that they are holding others back always blaming others for their old actions that hold them back as an adult. They may have the age but not qualified to have more because of un left business from their past. You can reflect their past and try to lead them but you can't make them grow if their unwilling to see the truth that they are the ones at fault and they should do everything to make it right so they can better themselves. If they say their going to kill themselves then that's on them not you! If your reading this you may see you were once blind but now you see them for what they've only shown you! I'm woke! Talk is cheap action is all I've been told yet never given. Well waiting is over with. If this was right I wouldn't always be questioning it. I want more in life. He could care less. He says I'm his soulmate I say bullshit. If I were I wouldn't feel like nothing ever works. If this was right then I would think so many things would fall in place like it belongs. I know it's hard giving up but if you've put in years and tried everything then you've left no stone uncovered. Growth is beautiful staying stagnant and dreams being killed isn't being true to yourself! Be happy. I'm done wasting time. You only get one life why should you be stifled!!!
Crying not only because of his emotions and lyrics but BECAUSE OF THE FCKN SCENERIES I’M DYING TO LIVE THEREEE😭
EVERTHING ABOUT THIS IS GDDAMN BEAUTIFUL IT HURTS

This is the sound of autumn, cozy blankets, forest walks surrounded by the beauty of nature, the vibrant orange colors of the falling leaves, and the crunchy sound when you walk through piles of them on the ground, cozy nights in with the sound of rain on the windows, the smell of freshly baked bread, the feeling of a dog lying beside you, candlelights and a movie with your loved ones, and lastly,it's the sound of home ❤🍁
A song you want to here to get away from it all..👌
Thank you Dermot..if you only knew...🙏🏻❤️🎹🎼🎧

Honestly the best part - "when I come face to face with death, I'll grab his throat and ask him how does it hurt"
Hits you in the feels man
