I will hang on the hook of your splendor As the night rolls us up in its arms And the square of your thumbs and your fingers Is the blanket of the sky that's so warm I know it's late but I can't help but think here That the day hasn't shown all its cards Now it's out to the stars of the ocean Let's not retrace our steps to the car Picking out all the stars that we like Between finger and thumb You laugh as you pass me the night As if it's too fragile to hold And I hold it so close to my chest With your hands in my hands You say this is just how we'll rest Until light turns to sound Now your eyelids they faint and they shiver Like the wings of the last bird to leave For the south for the heat for no reason I watch as they fly for sheer joy The wind shakes the branches above us And the car shaved the ground at our backs But the dark roman wine in our bloodstreams Makes the cold just a word, just a sound Picking out all the stars that we like Between finger and thumb You laugh as you pass me the night As if it's too fragile to hold And I hold it so close to my chest With your hands in my hands You say this is just how we'll rest Until the light turns to sound
This is one of my faves. What am I saying, everything Dermot is my favourite but this is just beautiful, like he is. Thank you, Dermot. Thank you for every gift you give.
He is a symbol of Irish music! A gateway to beauty ,and soul of the Irish heart. Most Irish music is this good or better! Well done dermont! Thank you.
You write lyrics just as beautiful Dermot. I'm looking forward to nights under the moon and stars when I can let your new music wrap around me as your current music does. You've been touched by a seraph and your musical ability is the resulting blessing. Not to inflate your ego or anything! It just really feels like a blessing to hear you play and sing. An answer to prayers really. You are a vessel of good works.
Dermot, you’re such an incredibly talented artist! You’ve been a huge inspiration to not only myself but so many others, you should release this cover! I hope to see you back in Australia soon! ❤️
A lot of people say they came across Dermot's music via Spotify.. I've only just started using Spotify but luckily I decided to listen to covers of Dark Roman Wine back in about 2016. Thank you UA-cam, thank you Snow Patrol 👌
this man can sing the phonebook and I'd love it.
Wow !! Never heard a cover of dark roman wine by snow patrol before then my favourite musican covers it 🇮🇪
How have not more people seen or liked this? This is so so good!!
I will hang on the hook of your splendor
As the night rolls us up in its arms
And the square of your thumbs and your fingers
Is the blanket of the sky that's so warm
I know it's late but I can't help but think here
That the day hasn't shown all its cards
Now it's out to the stars of the ocean
Let's not retrace our steps to the car
Picking out all the stars that we like
Between finger and thumb
You laugh as you pass me the night
As if it's too fragile to hold
And I hold it so close to my chest
With your hands in my hands
You say this is just how we'll rest
Until light turns to sound
Now your eyelids they faint and they shiver
Like the wings of the last bird to leave
For the south for the heat for no reason
I watch as they fly for sheer joy
The wind shakes the branches above us
And the car shaved the ground at our backs
But the dark roman wine in our bloodstreams
Makes the cold just a word, just a sound
Picking out all the stars that we like
Between finger and thumb
You laugh as you pass me the night
As if it's too fragile to hold
And I hold it so close to my chest
With your hands in my hands
You say this is just how we'll rest
Until the light turns to sound
Can I stay here forever

Amberlyn Olden- You're absolutely right, I couldn't have said it better myself! Well done, very well done.
Beautiful words, the baton has been handed on.
Astonishing♥👌

Can't help but think this great song would work with bag pipes!!!!! Crazy maybe but I would love someone to try🤔
Halfway through 2023, I feel like the privileged few.
E the minion ... found it again😊now my commentar: glad to found it/you again!
So wonderful. What are the chords?
Old comment, I wonder if you've found the chords and mastered this song by now? Since it's snow patrol, shouldn't have been too hard to find?
