A Moment In Time

A moment in time, rosin the bow

Sound the strings of years ago

A sunlit room at Glenties fair

A traveller plays a haunting air

A story told, the laughter peel

The fiddler strikes another reel

The music lifts the tapping toe

The listeners call for "Séan sa Cheo"

Feel his art lift the heart

Sense the spirits rise and fall

A fiddler plays in Donegal

The story resounds, the tune rings on

The given note, the given song

And now a child lifts the master's bow

A moment in time from years ago

Feel his art lift the heart

Sense the spirits rise and fall

A fiddler plays in Donegal
