Original Song: Mainland (Celtic Folk Metal)

Here's a lively song to brighten your day. The lyrics are lonely and longing but the music they're set to always seem to pick people up, especially when the the double kick gets going in the chorus :)

Lover, come to me, I’ve been waiting so long
Here on the mainland, storms are raging
Oh so lonesome for your arms

My love wrote to me messages of longing
When winter’s past and the storm is gone
Then will the treacherous voyage come

Here I stand on the northern edge
Do you see the light of the mainland?

Lover, sing to me, tell me tales of destiny
Here on the mainland wars are waging
Oh I’m yearning for your touch

My prince promised me treasures beyond my dreams
But here on the mainland winds are changing
Nothing to keep me warm but your heart

Here I stand on the northern edge
Do you see the light of the mainland?

Strong winds blowing away all my hope
(but I still feel you)

Showers pouring down on my faith
(but I still feel you)

Night so dark I am walking blinded
(but I still feel you)

Voices calling to me unfamiliar
(but I still feel you)

Then the break of dawn arrives and I see you

Lover, come to me, I’ve been waiting so long
Here on the mainland, storms are raging
Oh so lonesome for your arms

My love wrote to me messages of longing
When winter’s past and the storm is gone
Then will the treacherous voyage come

Do you feel my love on the mainland?
Come back to my fireside here on the mainland

Come to the garden of delight here on the mainland
Come home to good company here on the mainland
Tell me tales of destiny here on the mainland

Here on the mainland storms are raging
Oh so lonesome for your arms

Here on the mainland wars are waging
Oh I’m yearning for your touch

Here on the mainland winds are changing
Nothing to keep me warm but your heart

On the mainland…

I did and it looks like fun! I'll try to contribute something if I can find some time. As a homeschooling mother of five young kids, that's not always as easy to do as it sounds though. lol

In one of my posts, I briefly mention about UJOMusic. It works similar to steemit, but for artists & talents. =) All The Best~

Cool. I'll take a look. Thanks.
