O'Connor, Sinead - The Moorlough Shore Lyrics






The Moorlough Shore
You're hills and tales and flowery vails
that lie near the moorlough shore.
Your vines ? by borden's grove.
Will I ever see you more ??

Where the prim rose blows
and the violet grows.
Where the trout and salmon play.

With my light and talk daylight I took
to spend my youthful days.
Last night I went to see my love,
and to hear what she might say.

To see if she'd take pitty on me,
lest I might go away.
She said, "I love that Irish lad,
and he was my only joy,
and ever since I saw his face
I've loved that soldier boy."

Perhaps your soldier lad is lost
sailing over the sea of maine.
Or perhaps he is gone with some other lover,
you may never see him again.
Well if my Irish lad is lost,
he's the one I do adore,
and seven years I will wait for him
by the banks of the moorlough shore.

Fairwell to Sinclaire's castle ground.
Fairwell to the foggy dew.
Where the ? wales lie ?
and ? stream runs still.
Near there I spent my youthful days
but alas ?,
for cruelty has banished me
far away from the moorlough shore.

    Your hills and dales and flowery vales
    That lie near the Moorlough Shore
    Your vines that blow by Borden's grove
    Will I ever see you more
    Where the primrose glows
    And the violet grows
    Where the trout and salmon play
    With my line and hook delight i took
    To spend my youthful days
    Last night I went to see my love
    And to hear what she might say
    To see if she'd take pity on me
    Lest I might go away
    She said, "I loved an Irish lad,
    And he was my only joy,
    and ever since I saw his face
    I have loved that soldier boy"
    Perhaps your soldier lad is lost
    Sailing over the sea of Maine
    Or perhaps he's gone with some other one
    You may never see him again
    Well if my Irish lad is lost,
    He's the one I do adore,
    And seven years I'll wait for him
    By the banks of the Moorlough shore

    Such beautiful lyrics, melody, and of course Sinead O'Connor is a Living Treasure. Not just a proud Irishwoman, but also a literal genius and a gift to the world in general.

    We love her round the globe. Sinead is One of a Kind. The only singer who can compare today is Annie Lennox, in terms of brilliant minds, passion for helping the world and political issues unrepetant, willing to put their beliefs however controversial front and central.

    I can think of few other musicians, (MEN INCLUDED!) who have the BRAVERY, heart and courage of this woman. She stood against the Catholic Church SCANDAL of child molestation, rape, and even murder in Ireland and WORLD WIDE. This woman is Angelic.

    J.... M....

    Farewell to Sinclaire's castle grand.
    Farewell to the foggy dew.
    Where the linen waves like bleaching silk
    And the falling stream runs still
    Near there I spent my youthful days
    But alas they all are gone
    For cruelty has banished me
    Far away from the Moorlough Shore.

  27. k.... ....

    Simple yet perfect

  28. S.... 1....

    Long live Bobby Sands, May God look after him, the sacrifice he gave personally in his suffering that people in the south never realised the pressure he was under in his community to have to go and give his life in terrible circumstances to try and make political decisions supposedly available resources the ballot box.

    S.... 1....

    Arsebox 1974 we would not be able to wipe the sweat of his brow a brave hero was Bobby as brave as any who went before him in our struggle.

  29. M.... G....

    I love the atmosphere of the videos for sean-nos nua, nothing flashy, just Sinnead simply sining in her homeland. Captures the spirit of the album perfectly.

    M.... G....

    Her voice is so pure and powerful she needs no gimmicks.

    M.... G....

    Well she does have a lot of music videos with close headshots that could be considered her gimmick, but overall I think she is a great singer

    M.... G....

    I don't think close headshots are a 'gimmick,' though. She is very beautiful. Have you ever seen her with her natural long hair? She's lovely. Yes, her facial features are gorgeous...video directors tend to do close shots because she emotes a lot with her facial expressions and huge beautiful eyes, and she doesn't do 'sexy' outfits or dances. It's just her clear, gorgeous voice and beautiful face singing sweetly and fiercely.

  30. K.... T....

    until she started singing, i thought sinead was the one on the right. oh well

    K.... T....

    look up My Lagan Love by her.

    K.... T....

    Lagan Love is absolutely brilliant, too! If you want to see the RANGE of this fierce beauty, this amazing Irish woman, whom I ADORE, listen to her youthful fiery music like "Troy," "Mandinka," or even a brilliant video and song from back in the day that she wrote and performed with Bono of U2 fame, "You Have Made Me A Thief Of Your Heart."

    K.... T....

    Nunya Bizness you have just named my three favourite songs, 😂 listen to last day of my acquaintance

  31. W.... J....

    There can be only one.

    R.... P....

    Rachel Pitt not as good as Dolores Keane

  34. G.... B....

    superb!!!

  35. S.... B....

  36. F.... ....

    This woman has always been able to pound a tune home...never holds back. Few are like her.

  37. E.... K....
