Lyrics:
Only once upon a silver moon we sailed for seven summers
Through many dreamlike islands in the dark blue sea
The Island of the Promises, the Island of the Women
The Island of the Longing, the Island of the Strong
Once upon a silver moon we sailed
We come in the wind, we leave in the wind
We come in the wind, we leave in the wind
Go tell my lady, go tell my love
We sail with the tide
We raised a sail and following the wind of seven winters
We went for the west, we went for the Land of Promise
For the Land of the Fair, the Island of the Apple Trees
The Island of the Pleasures, the laughing and the mocking
Where we left one friend behind
Then we raised one silver sail and we climbed
We come in the wind, we leave in the wind
We come in the wind, we leave in the wind
Go tell my lady, go tell my love
We sail with the tide
And found ourselves adrift under a sky of endless velvet
Blue and the stars and the stars, a million trillion galaxies
Sailing for eternity, and the stars
And endless choirs of angels fill the midnight air
With the phosphorescence of their radiant prayer
And a paradise of birds,
And the ravens in the dark, and the radiance of the moon,
Just once upon a silver moon we sailed
We come in the wind, we leave in the wind
We come in the wind, we leave in the wind
Go tell my lady, go tell my love
We sail with the tide
Only once upon a silver moon we sailed for seven seasons
Through many dreamlike islands in the dark blue sea

[@mo-chara]

Wonderful.

[@stevenfletcher5937]

lovely song

[@alanokeeffe9775]

This is the most magical song. To listen is to accept the invitation to step aboard the ship of boundless imagination and just go. The escapism in its lyrics is the refuge we all need from time to time where we can briefly pause reality .. and just allow ourselves to fly. I absolutely love it. It just decompresses my head. Keep them coming.

[@MichaelFurlong]

I Love this John.

[@Putyourheadonmysholder]

Thanks for visiting scoil oilibheir last week john!!

[@michaeldevaney5728]

[@karstenhartung1938]

Ein wunderschöner Abend mit einem unglaublich faszinierenden John und seiner Stimme, die einfach nur verzaubert. Die große Liebe zu einer Insel, die auch uns gefangen hat. Mein Herz schlägt irisch. Thank you for this Song.

[@maryfrost6623]

John, your ability to capture the joy and innocence of the human spirit is like no other musician poet in ireland today. Your words and evocations take us to places of our childhood memories like a time machine. The mystical realms painted in each our own individual special places through your songs. This song and the River Lee are really where you have brilliantly done this. Sublime.

[@margaretmlydon6910]

Thank you John. Going through a bad time at the moment. This song, your singing,, and the voice of the angle singing with you, have made me happy this morning. Mag

[@irishfield1]

So gorgeous singing and amazing song and lyrics exquisite ever masterpiece ever thank you John and Pauline

[@jenh7947]

Utterly beautiful. I'd never heard of you til I heard Billy in the Sky on Late Date on RTE Radio One. You have one of those rare and precious voices that is like magic. Last year was a rotten one for so many of us and I am not special or unique in this. In between losing someone I cared for and trying to put an end to myself, it really pushed me to breaking point. But songs like this are a gentle reminder there is always something good and pure in this world.

[@Marianarncipo]

So beautiful ! Thank you for this song ! Hugs from Argentina !

[@mariawood5784]

[@susankent7481]

This is beautiful, well done John, I love it!

[@neemayeswant]

Got here after watching the School of Dance video. The song in the video was so mesmerizing, just had to find out more. It should be going to the top of all charts. Absolutely brilliant!

[@neemayeswant]

Just bought the song from bandcamp! Thrilled.

[@clemryan4205]

Beautiful song John. Your music always reminds me of where i came from.

[@michaeldevaney5728]

Majority of Irish musicians copy and sing other performers music in majority of cases John writes his own he obviously has a brain most others don't they have to use or copy others stuff don't have the brains to write their own

[@michaeldevaney5728]

An incredible talent just unbelievable what a genius

[@marycooke1478]

Go hálainn !

[@konstantin604]

И тут Джон задался вопросом "Откуда у меня комментарии на русском?"

[@andyfitzgerald5262]

From passage west came fenian yell, rule brittania rule in hell !!! Best lyrics ever, love this John

[@dickduck1192]

Not bad fair play

[@TheActualCathal]

I would have given a note about the choice of title.

[@conflictmagazine5412]

I would too if I was twelve years of age.

[@LaBonessa]

Great song but the lyrics on screen are terrible
