Where Santa lives
Author : Dave Barron
Singer: Dave Barron
My friends spoke in the schoolyard
When we went out to play;
The story that I then heard
Soon filled me with dismay.

And asked Him to explain.
The answer came back quickly
And calmed my troubled brain.

The Seed in the Soil
Author: D. Barron
Air: THUGAMAR FÉIN AN SAMHRADH LINN
Performed by the Carlow Storytellers
Lyrics:
The seed in the soil creeps up to the light
Seeking new life in Springtime cold;
The slow beat of life shows green, shows white,
Growing new buds in flower and grove.
The flower, bud and leaf then burst into life,
Pulsing with sap…
The seed in the soil creeps up to the light
Seeking new life in Springtime cold;
The slow beat of life shows green, shows white,
Growing new buds in flower and grove.
The flower, bud and leaf then burst into life,
Pulsing with sap…
The Secrets of the Stones
Author: Dave Barron
Air: England's Motorway
The druids worshipped golden Fionn five thousand years ago;

The Keepers of the Flame
(Air: The Bantry Girl’s Lament)
Author: Dave Barron
Long, long ago ancestral lore was passed on orally;
The spark to light the Cultural Fire was lit in family
And local neighbours and the clan, all warmed to that same Flame
And so all came to act the same, all Keepers of the Flame.

The Demon Inside Air: The Wild Rover
Voice 1
I was born with a craving my very first day,
My blood pumped some strange stuff that pushed through my veins;
The doctors did clean it and made me okay
But the demon inside me stayed in me…
