Rachel Rae c. Ian Bell
You came to me when I was young on the melody of a fiddle song
Your name came trippin’ off my tongue, whenever we met to play along
Rachel Rae, Davie Taylor, Miss Macleod’s, John MacNeill
You must have cut a fancy figure, someone made you a damn fine reel
CHORUS: And we never met, but I know your name
I call it out across the floor
Whenever we meet to scrape the strings
And turn the old tunes loose once more
Was it for your kisses sweet, was it for your wit and fun
A noble heart, a dancer’s leap, your curlin’ hair or you wicked tongue
Did you smash the windows with a blackthorn stick,
on the trip to the cottage by the dusty mill
At the meetin’ of the waters near the Glencoe Bridge,
on the boggy road to Mllageville
And when the tunes are all played out, at least by us, at least for now
Will some we made for friends and times, still wander down the road somehow
Who will wonder at Carl and Kate, Jim Fisher the caller or Emily
Will a faded page from a dusty book sing a song that someone made for me?

It was lovely in the spring, all the flowers were in bloom
and we met beside the shore for a moment
there were birds and there were planes flying patterns all around
and we shared a single song for a moment
If the Riley Boys were here they would tell us all is well
Not to cry and not to worry for tomorrow
If the Riley Boys were here this would be a joyous tear
Instead of one for mercy and for sorrow
If it's quiet on the street it is not for want of feet
That would march if they could only find a way
If the halo round the light in this quiet street tonight
Were the hearts that wander by it would be crying
If the Riley Boys were here they would surely take our hands
And remind us that on earth our days are fleeting
If the Riley Boys were here and their gentle voices near
They'd remind us all that someday we'll be meeting
It's so hard to read the news and so beautiful outside
And the world that seemed so wide now seems so broken
All the things we love and keep in our dreams and in our sleep
Startled birds that we have suddenly awoken
If the Riley Boys they would tell us not to cry
Dry your eyes they'd say there's work to do tomorrow
If the Riley Boys were here we'd hold fast another year
And be thankful for what mercy we could borrow

Here Where Old Friends Meet
c. Anne Lederman
Here where old friends meet
Drummers cease their restless beat
Slow we down, down, our yearning feet
Here a sacred place
Lines etched in our face since last we did embrace
Our laughs erase them all
Yes, there’s bitter with the sweet
Slights from not so long ago bring hidden tears and salty words do flow
Please wash them all away, to the Gods we pray
For who can ever know what secret hurts we stow
And the years do take their toll
While the distant thunder rolls
Friendship is the hearth to warm the soul
Here we’ll drink our fill
Gaze both back and forwards till the anxious hands of time
They do stand still
Yes, there’s bitter with the sweet
But all those things I thought you might have said or meant
It’s time to let them go
Please wash them all away, to the Gods we pray
Please soothe our aching souls and wash them all away
Yes, to the Gods we pray, please blow these clouds away
And cleanse our weary souls to greet a brand new day
