Come away little lass come away to the water,
To the arms that are waiting only for you.
Come away little lass come away to the water,
To the ones appointed to see it through.
We are calling to you.
Come away little light come away to the laughter,
Show yourself so we might live.
Come away little light come away to the laughter,
To the ones appointed to see it through.
We are coming for you.
We are coming for you.
Come away little lamb come away to the water,
Give yourself so we might live anew.
Come away little lamb come away to the slaughter,
To the ones appointed to see it through.
We are coming for you.
We are coming for you.
To the arms that are waiting only for you.
Come away little lass come away to the water,
To the ones appointed to see it through.
We are calling to you.
Come away little light come away to the laughter,
Show yourself so we might live.
Come away little light come away to the laughter,
To the ones appointed to see it through.

Come away little lamb come away to the water,
Give yourself so we might live anew.
Come away little lamb come away to the slaughter,
To the ones appointed to see it through.
We are coming for you.
We are coming for you.

I love all the different JC suggestions scattered through the comments. Can I nominate one of my school friends from centuries ago Julie Casson?
I'm guessing this is a song about JC?

Love how the bass line underpins this song like a friendly but focused whale circling in time with but far below synchronized swimmers on the surface.
Saw Glen playing at Shane's funeral.
Total respect.

Excellent portrait art.
Anyone hear:
We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
?

Dunno what it is about the Album cover, but I just really like it.

Depressing.
Really good song….I especially like the cover by Maroon 5 featuring Rozzi Crane that’s on the Hunger Games soundtrack

Perfect for a Sunday AM with coffee...and isn't that a banjo?
And it sounds like a siren song to me...
Super pretty backing vocals.

I came slowly to the Glen Hansard party, and now I just think he is one of the most remarkable musicians out there. Eloquent, emotional, sensitive, powerful. Sensational voice, lovely guitar work, and seems like a straight-up good gent. Big big fan.
lol
So cold it burns !

I think you may be right and I missed it. Hard to remember for sure that far back.

I've observed previously that twoplain2sea's posts look just like old IRC chatbots. While there's a rare post that looks like it might have come from a real human, I don't think most of them do.

I honestly want to know what point they were making. A survey of old comments shows that the poster has a habit of posting cryptic messages. I'm gonna treat this like a rash - an irritation caused by exposure to a toxic substance - which either this is the product of a primitive chatbot or a steady supply of really good drugs.

Might be trying to trick with age-sex and pyramids. The only thing to those who travel in firesuits, or others who look after deckhands it's half a dozen of one and six of another.
What the fuck are you on about?

I think the same thing with most of his posts, which amuse the hell outta me, and my sarcasm may have been hidden with the use of italics - LLRP and all you COOL posters ;-)
Oh....I'm gonna +1 this to 8 now....it's the Irish wife causing it (and we'll be celebrating our 11th anniversary on 11/11!!)

Who has seen "Once" from 2007? A great little movie. They made it into a Broadway show, too.Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová wrote the music.

twoplain2sea with what appears to be a normal post and not the usual perplexing prose he posts. I was a bit hesitant to google "age-sex and pyramids" at work yet I found age-sex to be a statistics phrase (no doubt!) and then got lost in articles on pyramids...like this one...

I'm at a 7 on this song might go to 8 one day...Long Live RP!!

Sorry, been to too many afternoons in old houses with people who take themselves far too seriously and want to drag me down with them.
A rollicking good Irish holiday is indicated.

I'm intrigued. I want to know who "the ones appointed to see it through" are that this man speaks of.
a voice with the very sound I expect from that serious looking painting of a man
As much as I dislike Maroon 5, I love their version of this song
Glen just keeps getting better. My favorite guitar troubadour.
Nice piece for a dreary Friday afternoon. Helping with the report writing.
Who comes to mind first,
CSN&Y
or
Iron & Wine?
More please.
