Adrift in the Irish Sky

I'll never love every woman that I fancy
every woman in the world
every woman that I want

I'll never learn every language that I want
every language ever spoken
every language that's been loved

I'll never save every soul close to death
every child in the dark
every exhale of last breath

I'll never see every star in the sky
every twinkle in my eye
every shimmer of the light

I'll never see every sunset over sea
every dusk on the horizon
every city in the night

I am not important
What I see is not important
What I do is not important
What I feel is not important

I will not be remembered
I will not be forgotten
I will be nothing
A billion before, a billion after
One speck of dust lost to the wind

No anchor to my name
No anchor to my soul

I will be forgotten

But every beautiful sunset
Every beautiful lover
Every ebb every flow
Every rise and every fall

I see, I hear
I feel and I fear

Every moment here
Every moment gone
Except in my mind
Except in my self

I will not forget
