The Last King of Feothonach Lyrics by Gerry O’Beirne

Swimming the Horses

2019

[Verse 1]
Oh the Last King of Feothanach was wandering by my window
Head bent forward all along the windy quay
All my troubles evaporated when I heard the music
A moment of music with the sisters of the sea
[Chorus]
And he, he was singing all alone in the whistling breeze
[Verse 2]
There's a hole in the heavens that the clouds made when they parted
A patch of the ocean only he can plainly see
When he closes his eyes he can hear his own true lover
A moment of music then she's gone so suddenly
[Chorus]
And he, he is singing all alone in the whistling breeze
[Verse 3]
Try to catch the feeling the momentum of the moment
A moment of music oh say who could it be
He would ordinarily have liked to hear the blackbird
But the song of the raven won him over eventually
[Chorus]
And he, he was singing all alone in the whistling breeze
[Verse 4]
There'll be flowers on the water when the last king leaves forever
In a moment of music we'll be waving from the quay
While the blackbird and the raven watch together
The last king of Feothanach will sail away to sea
[Chorus]
And he, he'll be singing all alone in the whistling breeze
