Mo Cheol Thú Lyrics

I'm meant to be writing, but instead I just watch you
As you carefully roll up the frayed sleeves of my striped shirt
The blue one you've on and I know you do everything with such care
So I feel safe knowing you're getting so close
Stay close to me

You're learning Irish they didn't teach you in the north
While I'm learn about you and being English and remorse
Then you say, "Did you know that there's no direct way
To translate to Irish 'I love you'?
Just 'mo cheol thú'?"

Well, you are my music
You are my muse
I'll sing for hours
And write an album of you
'Cause you are my music
And, oh, I love you
You are my music and I will sing you
Iss mo cheol thú

We've fallen so soon in North Strand, a world in your room
Starlings on the train line and linen sheets as our cocoon
There's a rose pinned to the wall that you put there after our first walk
The rose I gave you, you saved

And you say
"Breathe with me
I've got you
Breathe with me"

Well, you are my music
You are my muse
I'll sing for hours
And write an album of you
'Cause you are my music
And, oh, I love you
You are my music
And, oh, it's so true
You are my music and I will sing you
Iss mo cheol thú
