Story Behind The Song

Written as a modern interpretation of a traditional Celtic folk song, this piece captures the emotional space between separation and hope. Inspired by the sea as both barrier and connection, it reflects the universal experience of longing for someone far away while holding onto the idea of returning home.

Lyrics

Down by the silver tide I roam
Far from my love and far from home
The evening falls on fields of green
Where once your gentle face I'd seen

The curlew cries above the bay
As light and warmth both fade away
I walk the shore with restless feet
Where land and longing softly meet

Oh carry me over the rolling sea
Where my true love waits for me
Through wind and rain, through dark and foam
Oh carry me, oh bring me home

The moonlight lays on waters wide
A silver path upon the tide
I close my eyes and hear your voice
In every wave, I've no more choice

The night grows deep, the fire burns low
The northern winds begin to blow
I hold your name within my chest
And pray the dawn will bring me rest

Oh carry me over the rolling sea
Where my true love waits for me
Through wind and rain, through dark and foam
Oh carry me, oh bring me home

Call my name through mist and air
Find me wandering everywhere
Though oceans wide between us lie
Your light still guides me through the night

If I should fade like morning dew
Let all my dreams return to you
And on that shore where we once stood
Our love will rise from tide and wood

Oh carry me over the rolling sea
Where my true love waits for me
Through wind and rain, through dark and foam
Oh carry me... oh bring me home

Carry me... carry me...
Bring me home across the sea...
