No Turning Back...

IT’S NOT JUST MONEY
Joy at last lasting joy peace the bells are ringing shouting screaming out
Rejoicing in the Saviour - where is He now - how do we live by faith
They set you up to let you down delighted when you fall and you will

Because everybody does and from a great height when they walk by sight
Even you and I there is no getting away from them when they come
Deadly as the different ones when they arrive beating down your door  

Who are you where are you what is your understanding of the whole thing
The situation that you have entangled yourself with for so long
The hole that you have dug for yourself deeper and deeper into debt

Down the darkest of slippery slopes until there is no turning back
Yet there is always a chance another way a change of direction
And a change of heart because it’s not just money that can break the bank

Feeling Blue Song # 692

SO LONG SINCE
(THE LAST TIME)
This time last week
I was out with somebody new
She was unique
But now I’m feeling blue

All I did was sing her a song
And every little thing went wrong

So long since the last time
The national pastime...

This time last week
I was out with somebody new
She was unique
But now I’m feeling blue

All I did was sing her a song
And every little thing went wrong
Repeat

Belfast Blues

WHERE DANDELIONS GROW
I met this girl she meant all the world to me
And nobody knows where dandelions grow but me
Surprise surprise she had brown eyes
Then when she smiled at me…
I melted when I heard her voice
She sounded so good and she understood
But nobody knows where dandelions grow but me

I met this girl she meant all the world to me
And nobody knows where dandelions grow but me
Surprise surprise she had brown eyes
Then when she smiled at me…
I melted when I heard her voice
She sounded so good and she understood
But nobody knows where dandelions grow but me

For Cathy

PORTAFERRY
As I was going to Portaferry
Happy as Larry dee dandelion jam
I met a maiden but she didn’t care, Dun-drum dee...
She had brown eyes and beautiful hair
As she drove on to Portaferry

Dun-drum Dun-drum dee dandelion jam
Dun-drum Dun-drum dee dandelion jam

On the hill is Scrabo Tower says she
Happy as Larry dee dandelion jam
Up up the apples and pears she sang, Dun-drum dee...
She looked so sweet and ever so rare
As she drove on to Portaferry

Dun-drum Dun-drum dee dandelion jam
Dun-drum Dun-drum dee dandelion jam

We took the Tom and Jerry to Strangford
Happy as Larry dee dandelion jam
For to watch The Grand National there, Dun-drum dee...
My horse Vicente fell at the first fence
Her thoroughbred looked as lively as Ned

Dun-drum Dun-drum dee dandelion jam
Dun-drum Dun-drum dee dandelion jam

It must have been something that I said
Happy as Larry dee dandelion jam
I should cut my tongue right out of my head, Dun-drum dee...
Such a sweet maiden but she didn’t care
We took the boat back to Portaferry

Dun-drum Dun-drum dee dandelion jam
Dun-drum Dun-drum dee dandelion jam

The Lough was choppy and cold as we crossed
Happy as Larry dee dandelion jam
Castles and Abbeys, ruins everywhere, Dun-drum dee...
So much to see and so much to share
When we drove down to Portaferry

Dun-drum Dun-drum dee dandelion jam
Dun-drum Dun-drum dee dandelion jam
