lyrics

Forty days and forty nights
I walked upon the sea
Casting down my armor for
The fear that I would sink
The creatures from below, they
Wouldn’t suffer me to sleep
So I gave them every part of me
I didn’t want to keep
I tore out every regret
And cast it to the deep

I’ve got a burning
I’ve got a burning in me
Embers have turned, and I’m
Not finished learning, you’ll see
I’ve got a burning
I’ve got a burning in me

When winter came the snow and rain
Were more than I could stand
I coughed up all my fire and
Held my breath inside my hands
When I lay down on elder ground
The wind blew through my mind
And whispered words you said to me
In far off, younger times-
Brothers to the end; you’d be my
Brother ‘til we died

I’ve got a burning
I’ve got a burning in me
I’ve got a burning
I’ve got a burning in me
Embers have turned, and these
Waters are churning, you’ll see
I’ve got a burning
I’ve got a burning in me

about

Cailean Grand Rapids, Michigan

We are Cailean, and we believe in stories—the ones we tell and the ones we have been told from generations past. We started Cailean (Kal-un) in early 2012 as a project devoted to the exploration of storytelling in the melding of Irish and American folk-rock themes.

Thank you for listening and sharing our music.
