Lyrics
Gemstone
Hear this -
The humble heart will bear a noble gift
a love unbounded
expanding ever inwards
ever outwards
establishing a sacred trust
How vulnerable
how strong
the eyes that are wide open
that invite another
to look inward and explore
What greater honour than to hold
another's hand with conviction
and yet cherishing a separateness
through which each bestows upon the other
a gemstone

Described as ‘venturers in the post-genre slip stream, weaving folk, improv, art pop and contemporary classical into new material that is soft on the ear but tough as leather.’ (Cormac Larkin, Irish Times).
