Standard (EADGBE)

The candlelight is fading

As I gently kneel and say

An Ave for my mother

As her spirit slips away

A way to join my father

And to share eternity

We call them kindred spirits

Now they will forever be

So now they're reunited

Smiling down from up above

As fondly we remember

The old house they filled with love

How even through the hard times

They were close as close could be

Just like the kindred spirits

They will forever be

Their love was as deep as the ocean

Flying higher than eagles would dare

As strong as the mountains in Donegal

As soft as a morning in Clare

I can see her in the kitchen

I can smell the baking bread

I can hear my father singing

As he tucked us in to bed

They shared the load together

They were proud as proud could be

And now those kindred spirits

Will share eternity

They shared the load together

They were proud as proud could be

They were always kindred spirits

And they will forever be

For now those kindred spirits

Will share eternity
