There’s a stranger on the shoreline With a heart beating in his chest Got used by some dirty slut Ended up in a mess Got a fist full of anger Washing it to the sea Throwing it away so slowly The sky, the sky, the sky’s alive tonight. The sky, the sky, the sky’s alive tonight. There’s a stranger on the shoreline Watching the colours in the sky It’s blood shot red and wounded And too ashamed to cry But the restlessness is easing The ocean’s calm tonight There’s a spirit on the water That never loses light. The sky, the sky, the sky’s alive tonight. The sky, the sky, the sky’s alive tonight. There’s a stranger on the shoreline Dancing to the sunset Reaching out his arms He’s focused and he’s set. All tomorrow’s start tonight The stars come in to view Cradled in dreams The ones that are coming true. The sky, the sky, the sky’s alive tonight The sky, the sky, the sky’s alive tonight

You’re losing me to your cost You’re losing me to your cost Well I ain’t hard to lose I’m already lost I’m a travelling honey, I’m a travelling light I’m a travelling honey, I’m a travelling light I’d bring you along but honey I’m leaving tonight. I’m camping out, I’m a burning a fire. I’m camping out, I’m a burning a fire. Got so much fuel These flames can only get higher. Instrumental Don’t be crying, don’t be wasting your tears No don’t be crying, don’t be wasting your tears You better stop soon honey Feels like you’ve been crying for years. Put your helmet on, go take a ride on your horse Put your helmet on, go take a ride on your horse. There ain’t no soft landing When you fall of course Keep your head down baby don’t let the dust get in your eyes Keep your head down baby don’t let the dust get in your eyes You know that dust’ll blind you Leave you paralysed Instrumental The mud is flying some of it is gonna stick The mud is flying some of it is gonna stick Some of these people I see, they make me sick The blinkers are on, there ain’t no looking back The blinkers are on, there ain’t no looking back You want me to retreat, but I’m gonna attack There’s a strong wind blowin’ coming in across the bay There’s a strong wind blowin’ coming in across the bay I can’t tell, if it’s telling me to leave or to stay Saw the devil and he ran sayin I ain’t got the time Saw the devil and he ran sayin I ain’t got the time There’s so many souls checkin in And I’m way behind

Lions and tigers It’s a crazy world out there But I am where I am And happy to be here Between the jigs and the reels I’ve cried my tears They’ve helped me grow And to conquer my fears I caught a fallin’ miracle Comin’ from the sky I’ve danced beneath a shooting star Not knowing why But I’m a believer And so I’ll dance I’ll drink and I’ll gamble As long as I have a chance Bridge Dry me out Beneath an eastern moon Leave the key in your heart I’ll be comin’ home soon No harm will come to me These strangers can’t hold a disguise They try look into me But the power ‘aint in their eyes Marie told me years ago I love the music but I need to hear the words Now I hear her music In the oceans, the mountains and the birds I feel her blood run through my veins I see her heart in all the love I feel With every one of these notes Let there be another heart that heals Another heart that heals Let there be another heart that heals

Saved 02:50
Easy come Easy go It’s the way to live Or so I’m told Chorus I have been saved Yeah yeah I have been saved Yeah yeah I have been saved Yeah yeah In and out Nice and slow It’s the way to live Or so I’m told Chorus Bridge Rising up From the ashes that remain Dancing through The burning flame Sing with me All the way home It’s the way to live Or so I’m told I have been saved Yeah yeah I have been saved Yeah yeah I have been saved Yeah yeah

From the western shore To the eastern coast Some turned into presidents Some turned into ghosts Farewell to that coastline That coastline is my home I’ll leave it all behind Got to go it alone Chorus Eighteen forty five Trying to stay alive These dirty grey streets I’d gladly swap for my mountain side My family is gone now These vicious waves I ride Eighteen forty five Trying to stay alive The coffin ships they sailed For manys’ a lonely week Diseased rats and a starving race Survival is all they’d seek They brought their pipes and whistles And the songs of ‘98 The prayed for the ones that they left behind To get through New York’s gate Chorus We’ll work night and day sir Till the setting of the sun We’ll build the roads and the railway lines Whatever needs to be done The wailing is in their ears And the loneliness stayed in their hearts All they could see through their tear filled eyes Was the ocean that kept them apart Chorus
6.
I’ve been away for far too long Out singing my song Meeting women and drinking wine But I missed this land of mine Chorus Good to be back home Good to be back home I’ve been travellin’ a hard road Out looking for my gold Tell ya somethin’ It’s good to be back home I’ve seen places that would make you cry I’ve swam in rivers that have now run dry I’ve been stranded on roads of dirt Carrying only my bag of hurt Chorus Bridge Spent some time looking back Wasting my days Riding down that railroad track Trying to find my way I’ve been beaten, I’ve been bruised I’ve been battered, I’ve been used Been lost on city streets With the kind of folk you should never meet Chorus

Freewheelin' 04:20
Looking to the past The future will find its’ own way Through my spiritual mistakes My soul will find a place to stay I’m a guitar troubadour With a scraggy ‘oul voice Some people reach a cross roads But I ‘aint got a choice Chorus I’m a freewheelin’ Throwing my heart to the wind I don’t care If I’m never here again A lover to the end Needs a lover to begin I’m here in front of you Throwing my heart to the wind There’s a bus goin’ somewhere There’s a journey for everyone Somewhere somebody Is calling out to the setting sun Without the sky The sun won’t shine Without this guitar This world ‘aint mine Chorus Travelling distance lands All the way down the stairs Finding new ground And throwing away all my cares Can’t take you with me It’s a one seater plane If it goes wrong You won’t hear me complain Chorus Fall asleep at night Wake up in a different place The say I’m a waster And a bloody disgrace They’re living life On another level They’re following God While I’m chasing the devil Chorus Try bring me closer And I’ll tear you apart You’re looking for the end While I’m searching for the start I’ll blow my harmonica You blow of your steam And go ahead dream Someone elses’ dream Chorus
8.
There’s a little spot beneath the morning sun Where time has not yet begun Above the rolling magic sea There’s a place for you and me If you don’t know what I mean I’ll take you along in my dreams Let the music play soft in your ears Let the music dry your tears And the song that you once sung Will come rolling of your tongue Nothing really is as it seems When I take you along in my dreams I’ll take you to where the three rivers meet I’ll take you along with me I’ll take you to where the air is sweet Whatever will be, will be Come with me to the river deep and wide Come swim with me to the other side Let the water feel your skin As slowly we swim Cutting through the fields of green When I take you along in my dreams I’ll take you along I’ll take you along I’ll take you along in my dreams
9.
Take my hand Don’t let it go I’ll take you with me Where the cool river flows Sweet love spreads Between two hearts There’s no ending There’s no start For it always is Sweet love shines Now and forever Until the end of time There’s a need to belong In every boy and girl There’s a magical spirit That turns this world We must be free Be allowed to climb Now and forever Until the end of time Harmonica We must be free Be allowed to climb Now and forever Until the end of time

Mystic Road 03:56
There’s a flower closed There’s an open book Sometimes I can’t see No matter how hard I look The a pattern unfolding In a secret scene I’ll tell you what I’ll do with the future I’ll wipe it all clean Walked this river Many times before Been that solider Breaking down that door I’ve said it a thousand times I’ll say it once more You can disregard love Love ‘aint the cure Chorus Whisper it again Not sure if I heard There’s so many voices I can’t hear a word I don’t know what It may hold The sun beats hot The wind blows cold Travelling down This Mystic Road With a whiskey and a smile We’ll make this road our own We’ll build bridges Where bridges have been blowin’ Take my heart And I’ll take yours We’ll keep each other shining Till the early hours Chorus Bridge I know I’ve wasted my money I know I’ve wasted my time But I don’t really give a shit ‘Cause everything I ever wasted Was mine, was mine Chorus

Tara 04:40
These lands are precious None of which I dare to claim The stories they tell Have an endless flame Spirits live here Alive and well There’s calmness here Up on the hill From the sunset to the dawn Giving it all to the energy line Walk with me to the fairy tree Let your heart follow the sign There’s a wild flower Silent and still Powerful and precious Up on the hill Chorus Where there’s a flicker of light Within the darkness of night The king sits alone Upon his throne Peaceful and still Up on the hill Among these sacred fields There’s a different view Before the day time rush There’s the morning dew Creeping over the island While its souls are still The king he sees it all Up on the hill

about

Fureys' debut album 'Easy Come Easy Go' was very well received in audiences across the country having been showcased by RTE, BBC Radio both home and abroad, resulting in a worldwide publishing deal with Universal Music. Nominated three years in a row by The Pure M Awards, for Best Newcomer, Best Male Artist and Best Irish Solo Act. Davie’s knack for telling a story through song and his ability to engage a crowd have resulted in many sold out shows on his previous tours.
