Lyrics:
I set my sails
And betrothed, the wind will guide me
To draw upon the North East shore
Of the emerald island
County Down
Where Bangor town
Is now and forever calling
And recalls me by the shore
At peace
In Silence
I sit down by the water
And I glory at my host
Let the rivers roll over like lovers
Oh brothers and sisters and I
Good lord you know we need it most
Our minds are tethered but our hearts are wild
In Bangor town
County Down
Let Joys abound
Back in Fealtys bar on High Street
Where we’ll raise a glass to all a fair tomorrow
We’ll be found
Amidst the sound
Of our laughter ever roaring
As we drink our fill where once
We drowned our sorrows
I sit down by the water
And I glory at my host
Let the rivers roll over like lovers
Oh brothers and sisters and I
Good lord you know we need it most
Our minds are tethered but our hearts are wild
In Bangor town
County Down
And where Jerry wails
Writing signs outside the Helmsman
Beware you passers by what lays inside there
Oh he testified
And Julie cried, reminiscing on her story
Surrounded once by glory now by violence
I sit down by the water
And I glory at my host
Let the rivers roll over like lovers
Oh brothers and sisters and I
Good lord you know we need it most
Our minds are tethered but our hearts are wild
In Bangor town
County Down

when I hear it in my head it sounds more like our hearts are wide open, but when I read the lyrics I realize it's because I'm from the wrong place to hear wild, but I still think it's amazing that words work like that, and both are so great. And now trying to cover his music seems too intimidating because I do not have an irish accent lol. my favorite line in the song

If you love this one I recommend all of Foy's music but especially "If Christopher Calls" which he wrote about his Father in Law's passing-its haunting, beautiful, and vulnerable... A masterpiece which reminds me as a writer, once again, sometimes the most simple but honest song wields more raw psychological & Spiritual Power than any lyrically complex & musically technical could dream of wielding. I'd also check out "Burden" & "Sapling" ... Pretty much Foy's entire catalogue of music--the man is a once in a Generation Musical Spirit.

Oh my goodness this is seriously, like the most beautiful song I have ever even heard and I'm 43. I was immediately like, Thank you Isaac! My son showed me your song two days ago and I cannae stop listening. I'm actually from Texas but immediately knew there was something about it, and after 10 times through I heard the accent for the first time, your voice is soulful and it almost sounds like an American song at first because of how deep and full the sound is, like an 80s soul rock song almost. All I know is I can't stop listening to you. I actually think this is an example of a song God is inside of. Thank you for giving it to us.
