If you gave me just a coin for every time we say goodbyeWell I'd be rich beyond my dreams, I'm sorry for my weary lifeI know I'm not perfect but I can smileand I hope that you see this heart behind my tired eyes.

My dad's Irish music was such a huge influence.

I get up, go shopping, clean the flat, cook my boyfriend's dinner. It's great selling records, but it doesn't mean you have to turn into a freak.

Why don't I watch the ocean?My lover's gone.No earthly ships will ever bring him home againbring him home again.

I really enjoy being single again. I spent a lot of time in a relationship and the nearer we came to the end, the more difficult it got. You don't see things clearly as long as you're still involved.

I like being a strong, independent woman, and to be honest, I was never afraid to be on my own.

I write about the things I feel strongly about.
