Lyrics

It's not the same, no, no, no,no.
The ferry leaves the people go.
Into the sea, into the east.
'Good Luck Shonnagh' the message reads.
Rain on the stones.
Mist in the trees.
She pulls up her hood against the breeze.
But it's not the same, no,no,no,no.
The ferry leaves, the people go.
Cars on the shore.
She gives a wave.
Lady Luck favours the young and the brave.
But it's not he same, no,no,no,no.
The ferry leaves.
The people go.
Into the sun.
The sun in the east.
'Good Luck Shonnagh' the message reads.

Great voice! Nice harmonies too. I like the way the tune builds with more instrumentation as it progresses. Fabulous sax tones and playing.
