Hooray! Found the right tape over the weekend, and here's what I've got for the lyrics to Tom Paxton's Corrymeela: Intro: O Ireland, O Corrymeela, O hill of harmony I need your loving people I was angry with myself, I was lost and confused There was no unkind word or bitter thought I hadn't used All the anger I carried was bound to explode I was walking in a rage down a long hard road Chorus: O Corrymeela, I need to rest myself I need to discover myself again O Corrymeela, I need a peaceful vision O let my only decision be to lay down my sorrows I was sure that I was right, but I knew that I was wrong I couldn't feel one way about anything for very long The blame for all my troubles pointed everywhere but me I was as full of hate as anyone you'll ever see Chorus Bridge: Just to feel the anger leaving me Just to feel the burning bitterness die O show me the sea, let its music heal me Show me a field where I can lie I was tearing myself apart, I was my own worst enemy There didn't seem to be an answer to my misery I knew that I was wrong, I was sure that I was right I was cursing the darkness and blowing out the light Chorus On the recording I have, Paxton sings the bridge and the last verse again, and ends with the chorus. Hope this is helpful, Camille.
