The Colour of My Love is Green

My cousin David and I performing his song about Ireland. Set this time with a collage of videos and pictures I took in Kerry recently. This has fast become one of my favourite songs. Please read all the words and enjoy!

The Colour of My Love is Green
by DMT

In all the lands I've ever been
and all the beauty I have seen
There still is only one place
that is dear to my heart

She's old as time and still she shines
with magic in her mystic ryhme
That calls me home
and keeps me warm when we're apart

And the colour of my love is green...

There's music in her summer skies
and laughter in her children's eyes
and love deep in her forests
and her streams

And if I have to go away
the vision of her beauty stays
entwined within my memories
and my dreams

And the colour of my love is green...

She loved us dearly all our lives
despite her heartache and her strife
and the taking of
her brothers in arms

for all their losses and their fears
a light shines through
her daughters tears... a light of pride
and love for our sweet land

And the colour of our love is green...

I know it's about Ireland, but dammit it makes me miss ol' Blighty.

That's a wonderful song, and the lyrics speak to my life in so many different ways. If it were on CD I'd definitely buy it.

I am so glad you like this song! I shall get my cousin to get in a studio with me and record this (as opposed to the living room with a couple of pints).

I like when songs mean different things for different people!

Thanks,

Marlo

Thanks so much!

Thanks! It is high time for you to visit! the Irish and Italians gravitate towards each other wherever they settle! The children of these unions seem to be fine people, don't you think! hahaha!

Glad you like this vid. It is a beautiful part of Ireland. My voice; not the best on it, but I just love the song! Should you need travel advice, let me know!

My mum is Irish but I've never actually been there. I feel like I'm living a bit of a lie and I MUST go soon. Similarly my Dad is Italian and although I've travelled Italy quite a lot I don't speak to Language.. ...another one for the list!

Enjoyed your voice and the video!
