Irish singer-songwriter, Mick Flannery, displays his dry-Irish humor with the story of how he came to write the song "Ships in the Night". He then performs the song from his latest album, Red to Blue, before a sold-out crowd at The Burren in Davis Square Somerville, MA.
The Burren Backroom Series is hosted by Brian O'Donovan of A Celtic Sojourn on WGBH Radio.

lyrics:
I am a sailor, I am a sailor,
An' I've been on my hunt for treasure,
When I find it, when I find it,
I will leave all else behind it.
But the day hasn't come yet,
the day hasn't come yet,
the day hasn't come.
They say the way your life is made,
Is only stars aligning,
On you go the seas'd roll,
Lonely souls a-pining.
The great unknown you live and hope the one that fits you right,
Won't pass you by.
I wanna see you, I wanna see you,
Though I have no idea what i'll do.
I wanna feel it, I wanna feel it,
I wanna feel that very moment.
But the day hasn't come yet,
The day hasn't come yet,
The day hasn't come.
They say the way your life is made,
Is only stars aligning,
On you go the seas'd roll,
Lonely souls a-pining.
Will we be those who meet and know a love on it's sight,
Or two ships in the night?
They say the way your life is made,
Is only stars aligning,
On you go the seas'd roll,
Lonely souls a-pining.
Will we be those who meet and know a love on it's sight,
Or two ships in the night?
