Episode 6 I Lár an Aonaigh

TRANSLATION FROM GAELIC:

When you do have that up-close-and-personal experience

and the reality that you might lose your child,

there's nothing like it,

and I do think certainly it enables me

to do my job as an MLA

and shapes the person I have become

and also that is what has provided the impetus

to have this Private Members' Bill

and to bring this about.

I've spoken to so many families and they all say the same thing.

It's the one light in the darkness of the death,

in the heartbreak of the death,

the fact that the source of life

for three, four, five, six other people was our loved one.

It's something that keeps us going, it inspires us.

-Nine of diamonds.

-OK.

-Jack of diamonds.

-Jack of diamonds.

OK. Whoo!

# I am a lighthouse

# Worn by the weather and the waves

# And I'll keep my lamp lit

# To warn the sailors on their way

# I'll tell a story

# I'll paint you a picture from my past

# I was so happy

# But joy in this life seldom lasts

# I had a keeper

# He helped me warn the ships at sea

# We had grown closer

# Till his joy meant everything to me

# And he was to marry

# A girl who shone with beauty and light

# And they loved each other

# And with me watched the sunset into night

# And the waves They crash around me

# The sand slips out to sea

# And the winds that blow remind me

# Of what has been

# Oh-oh And what can never be

# She had to leave us

# My keeper, he prayed for a safe return

# But when the night came

# The winds to a raging storm had turned

# And we watched a ship fight

# But in vain against the wild and terrible wave

# In me so helpless

# As dashed against the rock She met her end

# And the waves, they crash around me

# The sand slips out to see

# And the winds that blow remind me

# Of what has been, oh-oh

# What can never be

# Then on the next day

# My keeper found her washed up on the shore

# He kissed her soft face

# They'd be together soon, he swore

# I saw him cryin'

# Watched as he buried her in the sand

# And then he climbed my tower

# And off the edge of me he ran

# Whoa, and the waves They crash around me

# The sand slips out to see

# And the winds that blow remind me

# Of what has been, oh-oh

# And what can never be

# I am a lighthouse

# I'm worn by the weather and the waves

# And though I am empty

# I still warn the sailors on their way

# Oh, I am a lighthouse

# I'm worn by the weather and the waves

# And though I am empty

# I still warn the sailors on their way. #
