From: bottarel@ipruniv.cce.unipr.it

Could anyone help with lyric of the "SHE CAME TO ME" from the album "The Fureys and Davey Arthur - Live at Dublin National Stadium"?

I have this song but my comprehension of live english isn't good enough to catch all the words!

VERY VERY THANKS!

Thank you Martin for trying to help. The first 2 lines should be as follows (note the missing words..):

She came to me with eyes so bright [.......] ladybird [...] flight She [...] fly away "your house is on fire" she that said

SHE CAME TO ME is also on the Fureys' albums "Gallipoli" and "Alcoholidays," and on the 6-CD compilation "Ultimate Irish Superstars."

Although there are a lot of web sites out there offering these albums for sale, I haven't found one that has sound samples, and therefore I can't quote any lyrics.

As far as I can tell, these are the lyrics:

SHE CAME TO ME

She came to me with eyes so bright
Touching a ladybird that seeks flight
She held it out to fly away
Your house is on fire, she did say
Such things, they were made for her
Ah...

I watched her sleep all through the night
Dream of her ladybird in flight
And in the morning, her eyes did shine
She looks at me and I feel fine
Such things, yes they were made for her
Ah...

I heard the news where children die
The wars, they show us where they lie
An evil man they bring to us
Their evil things that we must trust
Such things, they weren't made for her
Ah... (maybe?)

Evil men they bring to us
Their evil things that we must trust
When it's birds and bees it's what she sees
It's flowers and trees it's what she feels
Such things, yes they were made for her
Ah...

She came to me with eyes so bright
Touching a ladybird that seeks flight

Dee dee dee
Da da da dee...
Da da da dee...
