Transatlantic - Aoife O'Donovan, Kris Drever

[Verse 1: O’Donovan/

O’Donovan, Drever

You fell asleep with your head down

I fell asleep saying please

The banjos and fiddles played breakdowns

And we slept like babies

[Verse 2: O’Donovan/

O’Donovan, Drever

Out in the bar room you sang songs

Songs from another time

And when you got the words wrong

I woke up and sang your lines

O’Donovan, Drever

You take the high road — and I’ll take the low road

I’ll get there before you

We’ll make it to Scotland

Or have we forgotten what we’re going there for?

[Verse 3: O’Donovan/

O’Donovan, Drever

You fell in love with your hands out

Your hands made a peace sign

So I fell apart when you pulled out

We ought to try to try

O’Donovan, Drever

Everything’s broken around me

The heather dies when I pass

The sky looks like a foundry

Where my heart is metal cast
