A Moment In Time

A moment in time, rosin the bow Sound the strings of years ago A sunlit room at Glenties fair A traveller plays a haunting air A story told, the laughter peel The fiddler strikes another reel The music lifts, the tapping toe The listeners call for "Séan sa Cheo" Feel his art lift the heart Sense the spirits rise and fall A fiddler plays in Donegal The story resounds, the tune rings on The given note, the given song And now a child lifts the master's bow A moment in time from years ago Feel his art lift the heart Sense the spirits rise and fall A fiddler plays in Donegal
