Did I Do The Right Thing - Sinéad Lohan

Album: Bee in the Bottle, 1996
Lyrics:
With dark red berries on the branches
I'm further than you think
Next to station platform people
We're all waiting for a train
Sometimes not even i can tell you
I'm nearer than you know
Behind your eyes a burning memory
Let the fears of broken pieces go
I fill my bag with clouds and rivers
Emptied the castle of the crows
I left the sand and sea forever
To be exactly here now
Did i do the right thing
It's in and out of time you move me
I'm scattered all around
I was in a light and then you threw me
Like a shadow to the ground
Sometimes not even i can tell you
I'm nearer than you know
Behind your eyes a burning memory
Let the tears of broken pieces go
I fill my bag with clouds and rivers
Emptied the castle of the crows
I left the sand and sea forever
To be exactly here now
Did i do the right thing
I'd forever talk to you but soon my words
Would turn into a meaningless ring
And deep in my heart I know there's
No help i can bring
But everything passes everything changes
Just do what you think you should do
And someday maybe who knows baby
I'll come and be crying to you

A very intelligent writer with a voice to back it up. I hope she's happy and safe.

I agree fully. I just discovered her yesterday, "Everything Around Me Is Changing" is now one of my favorite songs and it's so sad I have found her after she "retired" ... but I take heart in the fact her beautiful words and music lives on here at least ... and I did find her. Love to All

Sadly, only two albums of some of the most beautiful, exquisite music ever recorded! I long to hear more music from Sinead.

[@mackk294]

do you know when did she stop to perform?

[@Vanfan8]

I agree with the other post; what a lovely singer-songwriter - still listening to "Diving down Deeper" all these years later, with an ache inside.

I have No Mermaid, quite possibly the only album I ever bought where every track is as priceless as the next. Even the Beatles didn't do that for me, quite.

All departures should be sudden........but what a fireball to leave behind.

Beautiful soul xxxxx

[@mikekeyes6102]

Brilliant lyrics and beautiful singing - so much variety and contrast in her material. Did she do the right thing in leaving the music?

[@SuperMarion61]

+Mike Keyes When did she leave music and do we know why? Such a shame, can't recall how I found her CD's some years back, but so love her music.

[@mikekeyes6102]

+Marion Fallon I only know what I've learned from some of the comments on RUclips. One says she got married to an accountant and started a family - and there is something about a new cd in progress back in the early 2000s though obviously it did not materialize - maybe she had said all she wanted to say - who knows?

[@janragusa7870]

Don't think she did the right thing in leaving music....

[@mikekeyes6102]

I have the above CD and this song is definitely NOT on it!
