*LYRICS*
I would not go empty-handed
For it’s been drummed into me,
Give anything, but give.
A hand-tied bunch from the garden,
A stone smoothed by the love of a hand,
Sea glass of blue and green,
Sharp edges gone now by the shape-shifting sands.
Give anything, but give.
Feathers found in the forest,
A cross made of rushes,
A stick, weathered, not broken,
Give anything, but give.
A penny from your pocket,
Hair for the locket,
A book, dog-eared and tired,
That might just hold a mystery unfolded.
In my pocket I found from you
The sweetest treasures wrapped in leaves.
We followed the trail into the light
And searched the forest far and wide.
And all the while, side by side,
Gathering our scattered thoughts.
You have my heart, what will I do?
For now we’re coming home.
In my pocket, I found from you
A handful of our memories.
We followed the trail into the night
And left the forest far behind.
You have my heart, what will I do?
For now we’re coming home.

Listen/Download: smarturl.it/CaraDillonRiver Joni Mitchell's 'River' has been a favourite of mine for as long as I can remember and after performing it live on my Christmas tour the past couple of years the response I got each night was incredible. I’m so blessed to be able to sing this and to top it off I’m accompanied by the wonderful John Smith on guitar and John Garrison on keyboards.

beautiful
The choice movie brought me here love the piano piece ❤
Wen ich das Video sehe,denke ich du solltest mit den Drogen aufhören.😊
I love this song..Go hiontach ar fad...A beautiful version ..
Superb ❤
My music taste has changed in recent years, I'm listening to a lot of old and new alt-rock/ punk stuff these days. But still every year you are my most played artist. I actually have a patch of you that I wear on my vest proudly, and I don't care if no one gets it. There is nothing that makes me feel as close to myself as your music, it's given me so much comfort during some hard times and it makes me cry when I think I can't. I can not put into words what you mean to me. THANK YOU! <3
"Man in The Rain"
Beautiful
LOVE this version by you. I remember watching this concert during COVID, thanking the gods that I was able to see you live albeit horrible circumstances.
June Tabor did a wonderful version of this Planxty cover.
My Irish forbears lived their later days in the "land of a stranger". I can really emotionally attach to these lyrics.
This is undoubtedly the most beautiful song and video combination I've ever seen and heard. It brings me to tears every single time. A music video is supposed to enhance the song and this does this perfectly. The song on its own is so beautiful it touches my soul, but with the cinematography and choreography in the video it goes deep into my soul. Beautiful ❤️
Cara sings this classic romantic song like an angel - in fact I have always considered her to be one. ❤❤
Wow, this is stunning - musically, vocally and visually! Bravo! 👏👏♥✨
Daughter God has given you the voice of an angel. I think my aunt died in that Blackwater River.
sweet Cara with your angel fairy voice....this version gave me chills xx
So beautifully sung, and the perfect guitar accompaniment. Thank you
Welldone Cara, Sam, Ben and Odhrán.. I had the pleasure of meeting Cara and Sam in Cambridge gig, loved it. Beautiful video and very well done. :)
I always know good music. Because it makes me cry.

So beautiful and incredibly moving! Thank you for your artistry!
Was lucky to see this last night in Westport. Super performance by Cara and her wonderful musicians.
Hi Cara, There was a man at "Head to the hills" festival in Ramsbottom in a stripey top. You complemented him on his dancing. You have just made him cry. Thank you. Happy equinox.
