…AND NOW MARIA, KIERAN AND THEIR AMAZING PERFORMANCES🍀

“Sing from the Sea

if i was dead and you were alive would i sing to you still from the ocean

would i wrap the wind,

about your head and call your name from wherever lie the dead

if i was dead and you were alive would i sing to you still from the sea if it came to be,

that you were the one would i fly to your side,

from behind the sun whisper secrets from the other side take you with me ,

your ocean bride if i was dead and you were alive would i sing to to u still from the sea i shiver,

to be alone cold,cold bed when you’re gone shiver to be alone no rest,no comfort, no home if i were dead and you were alive would i sing to you still from the sea “
