Drew Dillon - Have You Seen My Love? Lyrics

December 24th 9pm
Christmas, family time
The electric cuts out
Darkness
But it's nothing we can't handle
As Dad goes on the search for warmth and light and candles
Wicks lit and our faces above the glow
Dad pours us a wee nip as the Whiskey flows
Then with all he can muster in his soul
His heart, his wee aged bones
He summons this song
And the sorrow gives birth to Celtic tone
It's one we know and the song goes

Have you seen my love?
Do you know the way
Have you seen my love?
He was here in my arms only yesterday

Have you seen my love?
He's gone to Ballybay
Have you seen my love?
Here was here in my arms but now he's gone away

Have you seen my love?
His boat's upon the beach
Have you seen my man?
He's gone a sailing but now he's out of reach

The door bursts open and I walk
I'm lost in a fog, that's fallen and it's snowing
I can't see the hand in front of my eyes
And I don't quite know where I'm going
Then a text he says lets meet next week
He says he hopes I've been okay
That it'd be good to see me
What do I say?

Have you seen my love?
Have you heard his tune?
Have you heard my man?
I will be waiting for our days coming soon

Have you seen my love?
Do you know the way?
Have you seen my man?
He would be tailored for its our wedding day

Have you seen my love?
