Ruby My Beauty
Ruby my beauty the first one who knew me as Mum
Ruby my beauty, your playfulness threw me – such fun!
So cheeky and smiling with eyes so beguiling
We could not believe what we’d done
On the day you were born, my heart felt so warm
You looked at me straight in the eye
We could not believe, the joy we perceived
Right in the eye of the storm
You rearranged us, you moved us and turned us
Up skittled us, right upside down
You changed and derailed us, you freed us and saved us
Priorities moving along
Ruby my beauty the first one who knew me as Mum
Ruby my beauty, your playfulness threw me – such fun!
Ruby my beauty, they said that your heart was not right
Ruby my beauty your heart was open too wide
We feared it and brooded, we downright refused it
We grieved it and held you so tight
One valve was open, and steadily closing
Its own way and in its own time
Six long months later it sealed and it healed
And now Ruby my beauty you’re fine
You were so little, so precious, so pretty
Petite, a tiny we sprite
No one expected nor anticipated
The steel of your will and your fight
Ruby my beauty the first one who knew me as Mum
Ruby my beauty, your playfulness threw me – such fun!
Ruby my beauty the first one who knew me as Mum
Ruby my beauty, your playfulness threw me – such fun!
So cheeky and smiling with eyes so beguiling
We could not believe what we’d done!

Flow with the Wind
Maybe now is the time
To flow with the wind
Maybe now the effort
Can be lessened
Is there a force to access?
Is there momentum out there?
Maybe now we should stop!
And give in
Maybe now is the time
To be wise
Maybe now is the time
For surprise
Quieten the effort
Listen
Then turn and go the same way
As the wind
Maybe now is the time
To flow with the wind
Maybe now the effort
Can be lessened
You can force and fight
You can challenge light
Maybe now is the time
Just for life
Musical Interlude
Maybe now is the time
To be wise
Maybe now is the time
For surprise
Quieten the effort
Listen
Then turn and go the same way
As the wind

The Void
Chorus
Why do I feel all alone
I wanna sing
Why do I cry on my own
Just wanna sing
The voiceless void
Just sits and stares
And says nothing
Golden silence
I’m not quite sure
Of anything
You can’t set it up and return
To oblivion
Leave us here to figure it out
And disappear
I champion you
In the songs
That I sing
And now you just
Sit and stare
And say nothing
Chorus
I’m not quite sure
You’re there at all
Fifty fifty
Why is it so hard
To understand
Anything
And shards of hope
And shreds of light
Seeking comfort
In the night
Sometimes there’s not much
To hold in this life
Chorus
And here I am
Abandoned
By a great voiceless void
Why was I naïve
To trust
Anything
Chorus

Light in the Pattern
We identify the source
Of our ill content
As external to ourselves
But it never is
Search to improve
Detailed plans
Step after step
Making alms
Look outside the cycle
Who does it?
Light in the pattern
Who sees it?
Too few
Chorus
Just a few moments
In each lifetime
Scales fall away
Things rhyme
Just a few moments
For each one
Too few
Statistics
On suicide
A nation depressed
So much hardship
So much repressed
It’s a miracle the
Irish survive
What cost?
We identified the source
Of our ill content
As external to ourselves
It was
Power transferred
Colony to church
Too much
And back to the
Drawing board
Disarray
So much abuse
Can’t stay
Who takes responsibility?
Too few
Chorus
We identify the source
Of our ill content
As external to ourselves
And it sometimes is

Narnia
Bathe me in your golden light
Your golden, yellow, warm sunlight
And visit the edge of consciousness with me
And visit the edge of consciousness with me
Wrap me in your golden cloak
With outer layers of velvet blue
Remain within my consciousness of you
Remain within my consciousness of you
Take me to the shores of time
The witch, the wardrobe and the lion
I’ll visit the edge of consciousness with you
I’ll visit the edge of consciousness with you
And wrapped within my golden cloak
With outer layers of velvet blue
My heart pulsates a ruby red
For you, and you, and you, and you
Interlude
Bathe me in your golden light
Your golden, yellow, warm sunlight
And visit the edge of consciousness with me
And visit the edge of consciousness with me
…..
And visit the edge of consciousness with me

Triona Sings Dublin, Ireland
I performed one woman shows at Dublin Fringe Festival, Bewleys Café Theatre and at the Big House Festival. I played The Village, Whelans, The Helix, The Spiegeltent and most recently at First Fortnight’s Cistin 2021. My style is heavily influenced by folk and country music, my first love and my roots. There are also tones from the great cabaret songs and from choral music. ... more
