Travis John
by Kate Power
Under a foreign sky, my fate awaits me
There but for God go I, do not forsake me.
I am a boy, full of promise, full of freedom
And now the joy is dead and done
I am gone...
Before the western sea, my home was in the valley
There with my family, I took to manhood early.
I was the one, my brother called, My mother looked to me, Her fine, strong son;
And now the joy is dead and done
I am gone...
Finding my way to go, the call that I should answer
My country's own hero, like music to the dancer.
I am a boy, full of promise, full of freedom
And now the joy is dead and done
I am gone...
Under a weeping willow tree, you planted roses.
There in my memory, where my eternal ghost is.
I was a boy, full of promise, full of freedom;
And now the joy is dead and done
I am gone...

SOMETHING ONCE
Kate Power
I was something once, all bright and new
Now I feel my age and it’s old
There was something nice beneath the sweet moonlight
Now I pull on my sweater I’m cold
When my eyes were brightly shining between laughter and crying
No, I don’t remember trying, we just went the way we go
There was someone once, he was good and true
He’s been gone for a long time now
I remember him, and I remember you
I remember the why’s and how
When my legs were strong and sturdy, and I walked the hills and journeyed
Standing pints and rising early, to milk the jersey cow
That was long ago, the only one who knows
What it was back then is me
Even I don’t know, it’s like a movie show
There inside my memories
When I’d meet you bright and shining between laughter and crying
Sure, I don’t remember trying, we just went the way we go.
Sure, I was something once, all bright and new
