Sweet sister, save our skin
Guide us from this mess we’re in
Lash us all together,
For this treacherous endeavor
Our fortunes ever tied;
If one is lost, we’ll all die.
Sing, children, sing
To keep your calm,
Recite this simple psalm
Of praise unto the Lord
Who’s rent your dreams forlorn
Sing, children, sing
Will we reach home as Eli?
Sister O’Connell prays with a sigh
He has sent wind and flame
Yet, no chariot bears our name
Sing, children, sing
Lost another home
Filled with sea foam
Don’t fight your coming doom
You’ll meet your parents soon
Sing, children, sing
Will the wind whip us to heaven today?
Or will the sea just drag us away?
I love the clapping and cymbals in this song.
Oh my gosh, stunning traditional folk sounds! What angelic harmonies. The mix is awesome, and the threads of accordian and glock here and there add so much magic. Wonderful!
It sounds so awesome you guys! -daniel
