The history of Valentine's Day

DIDO- Grafton Street

This is a great song (one of my favourite) by Dido, a British singer-songwriter of an Irish father. She wrote this song after her father's death some years ago. Grafton St. is one of the most popular and crowded of Dublin's streets.

No more trips to Grafton Street,
No more goin' there,
To see you lying still,
While we all come and go.

No more watching sunsets,
It seems like summer's holding on.
And no more standing quietly at your window.

No more driving down your road,
Wond'ring when you'll be home.
And no more peace when they all leave
And leave us two alone.

And time we always lose is finally found here with you.
My love, I know we're losing but I will stand here by you.

No more calling friends from the car saying "I don't know when,
I'll be there but I'll do my best to come."
No more letting you warm my hands,
No more trying to take it in.
And no more saying "goodbye for the last time again"
And no more saying "goodbye for the last time again"

And time we always lose is finally found here with you.
My love, I know you're leaving but I will stand here by you.

No more trips to Grafton Street,
No more goin' there,
No more sitting up all night,
Waiting for any word.

Nothing's left that's safe here now,
Nothing will bring you home
Nothing can bring us the peace
We had in Grafton Street

Why Tara?

Some of my students asked me why I chose the name of Tara for my blog and here is the answer. It is just because it is one of my favourite places in the world. To provide you with more information you should know that it is an archaeological complex that runs between Navan and Dunshaughlin in County Meath, Leinster, Ireland. It contains a number of ancient monuments, and, according to tradition, was the seat of the High King of Ireland. Click on the photo below to learn more about it.
