Lyrics: Sadhbh O'Sullivan
Music: Sadhbh O'Sullivan/Matthew Harris
Tenlach
Chasing leaves, winter hangs in autumn air
Oh it's such a tease, blowing here and there
I'd like to catch them and lay them all out on the hearth
But still they'd decay, so what am I chasing here?
If I could float along
I wouldn't care if I was going anywhere at all
Chorus:
Tenlach, tenlach
Tá mé ag fánacht
Tenlach, tenlach
Tabhair dom do chorp, do chroí, do lámh
Oh won't you stay?
'Cause when you go my bones ache
Come sit by the fire, it's only me fighting time
With every wrinkle they embrace it, they embrace it
My body the leaf, mind more like a young sapling
But if I could float along
I wouldn't care if I was going anywhere at all
Chorus
