If anyone knows the lyrics to Chloe's 2 original songs, will you please post them here? Thanks! Plus, I'd really like to learn them in the near future.

The Gathering
by Agnew / Malamet / Scott
From a tiny green island in the bluest of seas
We've travelled the world throughout history
From the taverns in Boston to the streets of New York
You'll find someone Irish in ever city and port
And though we may wander from the south and the north,
We carry on when life steers us off course.
(And) Rivers of memories flow through your veins
And the heartbeat of home is calling your name
Chorus:
Gather near, gather far
Wherever you are
In the name of céad míle fáilte
Here's to you and I and the times gone by
Won't be long 'til the next slán abhaile,
So raise your glass and sing with me for the gathering (choir backing: raise your glass up)
So raise your glass and sing with me for the gathering (choir backing: raise your glass up)
For the gathering
So I call to the millions of us abroad
Don't ever forget its erin go braugh
So I'll bring the stories and you bring the laughs
And we'll drink 'til the morning like no time has passed
Repeat chorus
So come along say sláinte
Come along say sláinte
Come along say sláinte
In the name of céad míle fáilte!
Gather near, gather far
Wherever you are
In the name of céad míle fáilte
Here's to you and I and the times gone by
Won't be long 'til the next slán abhaile,
So raise your glass and sing with me for the gathering
So raise your glass and sing with me...
Gather near, gather far
Wherever you are
In the name of céad míle fáilte
Here's to you and I and the times gone by
Won't be long 'til the next slán abhaile,
So raise your glass and sing with me for the gathering
So raise your glass and sing with me...for the gathering!
Sláinte!
Some notes on the lyrics:
Céad míle fáilte
:
- A traditional Irish Gaelic greeting and means "a hundred thousand welcomes."
- Pronounced "kayed MEE-leh FALL-cha" or "kay-od MEE-leh FOYLE-cha"
Sláinte
:
- Means "health"
- Used as a drinking toast (ie. "cheers")
- Pronounced "SLWAN-cha" or "SLWAN-cheh"
Slán abhaile
:
- An Irish phrase used to bid goodbye to someone who is travelling home.
- A literal translation is "safe home" or "safe homeward"
- Pronounced "SLAWN-a-WALL-ya"
erin go braugh
:
- Means "Ireland till the end of time"
- Pronounced "erin go braw"
In the first verse I have "and" in brackets once. On her Reimagined album recording, she doesn't use "and" there, but she did have "and" there when she hand-wrote the lyrics out for me. I guess it's optional. Lol.

LoveSong to Ireland (Chloé Agnew)
Ever since I was young, I’ve been told:
"Never forget where you come from"
But ever since I've gone old,
I've realised that, I found myself moving on
But there’s still one thing I know
There’s only one place that I could call home
Ireland, there’s no one like you
Ireland, I love you I do
When I reminisce on your Emerald green
There’s nowhere else I’d rather be
Ireland, there’s no one like you
Ireland, I love you I do
Whether I stay or whether I leave
It’s Ireland, where my heart will always be
When I 've get busy I sometimes forget
The beauty of all that you are
When I return, I realise what I’ve missed
cause it’s the one place on earth that heaven has kissed
And there’s still one thing I know
there’s only one place that I can call home
Ireland, there’s no one like you
Ireland, I love you I do
When I reminisce on your Emerald green
There’s nowhere else I’d rather be
Ireland, there’s no one like you
Ireland, I love you I do
Whether I stay or whether I leave
It’s Ireland, where my heart will always be
Dada dida…
There’s still one thing I know,
there’s only one place, that I can call home
Oh, Ireland, there’s no one like you
Ireland, I love you I do
When I reminisce on your Emerald green
There’s nowhere else I’d rather be
Oh, Ireland, there’s no one like you
Ireland, I love you I do
Whether I stay or whether I leave
It’s Ireland,
it’s in Ireland,
it’s in Ireland where my heart will always be
