When Deirdre splintered the ash
She took the money and ran with the cash
As the Sun struck the stone
And I was never alone
In the great swathe
I was saved 
From a fate worse than death
But my greatest regret
Is that I can’t mend the sea
And I must live with what she’s taken from me
And I fight and I struggle to get away
From what was born that day
The sinking feeling, the weight of dread
Let’s not be friends, that’s what she said
Because I can’t relate to you
Everyone else is what I’m sticking to
And I was only too pleased to give her what she wants 
But something within me still haunts 
My waking hours 
And the powers 
Of all that be
Are continuously putting pressure on me
To turn that carbon into gem
The diamond and me are talking again 
About how the weight solidifies 
And changes shape before your eyes 
Into an enlightened stance 
As the wind watches the leaves dance 
On the screen of life
Somebody’s wife
Is calling over the hill
I never knew Death til the Holy Will
Took me under its sacred wing
Says I must give up everything
To be true
Foremost in that is my grudge against you 
And what I hold 
Can never be transmuted into gold
If it don’t give way
Can I find equanimity in what you say
