A song about a guy from long ago who met a girl, lost the girl, and hopes to find her again.

This song started with a bass riff I had for a funky jazz tune years ago, but ironically features the BiaB bass, and the riff is gone. Now it's slowed down to dirge speed with a haunting melody to match the old man's lament. I played the acoustic guitar with a heavy echo.

Seems there's been a long-time debate over whether Celtic should be pronounced Seltic or Keltic. Knowing that it doesn't really matter, I use both, solving the problem with alliteration. Seltic song and Keltic kiss.

Celtic Kiss

Once I was a lonely orphan living on my own.
Soon there came a fetching maiden to brighten up my home.
She came and brought her presence.
We sang our Celtic Song.
She came, and just as quickly she's gone.

I 'member once when she was sickly lying on our bed.
She raised her head and then she kissed me.
This is what she said:
"All my life I waited for someone just like you.
Our God will answer prayers. It's true."
I still hear her singing praises to our God above.
Somehow I still keep on breathing, living with her love.
Now I'm sad and lonely. I taste her on my lips,
And soon I will be with her for one more Celtic Kiss.
