Horslips

Horslips are an Irish celtic rock band that compose, arrange and perform songs based on traditional Irish jigs and reels. The group are regarded as 'founding fathers of celtic rock' for their fusion of traditional Irish music with rock music and went on to inspire many local and international acts. They formed in 1970 and 'retired' in 1980 for an extended period. The name originated from a spoonerism on The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse which became "The Four Poxmen of The Horslypse". more »

Precious stones and stolen thrones vanish in a day 
And your golden rings, your silver rings will crumble and decay. 
Silks and satins and crimson velvet will someday fade away 
But the stones will stand across the land and love will have its day. 

Change will come to everyone, never question why 
Sticks and stones will break your bones and words will make you cry 
The sun will shiver, the moon will crumble and vanish from the sky 
But the hills remain, love's the same, love will never die. 

I can see the lights below us twinkle like the stars; 
And I know they're waiting patiently for the day to break again. 

Distant skies, different eyes, change has come so fast 
Mother of pearl, distant girl clutches at the past 
But in the sunset I see your eyes and they tell me nothing's lost 
While the rocks remain, loves the same, strong love, strong love, strong love will last.
