Cool Breeze - Luka Bloom

I walked through the hailstones and the merciless wind

To where the island disappears and the sea begins

It was new year’s eve at the mountainside

On the winding road that slopes down to where Frankie lies

I stood still and stared down at the clay

Waiting for sorrow I started to pray

Ah but Errigal was wrapped up in brilliant white snow

Smoke rose from the turf fires of Bunbeg bungalows

I stood before the mountain waiting for sorrow

But the waves kept time and I let go

Go… Go…

Go… Go… To where the cool breeze sighs

Go… Go… To where your flute tones rise

Go… Go… To where Errigal’s in your eyes

We hear your grace notes they fill our nights

We miss you too much but it’s all right

It’s all right, it’s all right

We know you’re all right now, Frankie

I waited for darkness to torture my mind

But the Atlantic waves banged out a rhythm behind

I saw his fresh face with that killer smile

The flute up to his lips and in his own style

Eyes closed he took me to his wonderland

And the waves kept time on the Donegal strand

I stood before the mountain waiting for sorrow

But the waves kept time and I let go

We know you’re all right now, Frankie

I walked through the hailstones and the merciless wind

To where the island disappears and the sea begins…
