You know, pals, I heard that there must be the version. Here's easy:
At The Céili
Ladies: Tonight we're going to meet some lads Us girls are dressed up gaily And we'll be dancing 'til the dawn We're going to the céili
The lads, they come from miles around From Ennis and Kilmaley To show us all their fancy steps We're going to the céili
They're playing tunes on everything From pipes to ukulele It sounds so good, you can't sit down We're dancing at the céili
Lisa: All the boys we loved so well So handsome, young and charming They're in New York and Boston now They should be home here farming My own true love has sailed away to be an endless rover Cause times are tough and he must leave to start a new life over
He writes me letters every week to say how much he's slaving And he promises that he'll be back before the hay needs saving But it's hard to love somebody that you're not in touch with daily So I'm looking for somebody new tonight down at the céili
The winter nights are long and hard, and time goes by so slowly I wish my true love he was here, and in his arms I'd roll He'd whisper tender words of love to me and kiss my lips so sweetly And quickly I'd surrender to his manly charms completely
Lisa and Méav or Hayley: He writes me letters every week to say how much he's slaving And he promises that he'll be back before the hay needs saving But it's hard to love somebody that you're not in touch with daily So I'm looking for somebody new tonight down at the céili So I'm looking for somebody new tonight down at the céili
Órla: I hope I meet someone tonight who'll make my heart beat fast A handsome man with laughing eyes who smiles as he walks past And when they play an old-time waltz, he'll twirl me round the floor And promise me that I will be his girl forevermore
His girl forevermore, His girl forevermore Who'll promise me that I will be His girl for evermore (repeat 2x)
Méav or Hayley: I'm somewhat in a bother that is really quite alarming I have two lads pursuing me and each of them is charming One of them is dark and poor, one fair with lots of money I don't know which one to choose, the flower or the honey
Full chorus: What on earth am I to do? It's driving me half crazy Tonight I'll make my mind up when I see them at the céili
Méav or Hayley: To be a poor man's wife will be a life of washing dishes While a rich man's wife will surely have great luxury and riches In comfort how I know, it wouldn't be too hard to wallow And being poor is not much fun... Which one should I follow?
Full chorus: What on earth am I to do? It's driving me half crazy Tonight I'll make my mind up when I see them at the céili
Lisa: I've been lucky I've found a lad who's handsome and a neighbor
Órla: And me, I've met a decent man whose friendship I will savor
Méav or Hayley: And me I've made my choice as well, and in no way was it easy But I'd rather have a man for love than be a rich man's lady
All: And that is how the story ends, may true love never fail me We got ourselves three men tonight and we met them at the céili
Well, that settles it for awhile. I don't know the tour version of "The Dawn, The Sky, And The Sun" lyrics getting by. I need some help, please.

The Sky and Dawn and Sun song is the same except for in the begining they add a line. I don't remember that it is though.
Also, At the Ceili song is diffrent. Just the way the music is played is all. Mo Ghile Mear also is a tad diffrent. But I liked it because I needed some variety.!

I also noticed that they added an extra line or two to the Sky, the Dawn.......I think that it was a good idea and wish they had recorded it as such. That song is one of my favorites in the New Journey CD. Did anyone ever find out what the extra lyrics are?

According to one source, the new verse is: 'Now, let the day begin, Now, every dancer spin Step in and step out again...' I don't remember where I found it, sorry.

Good one! Now, we can add out those more ya-da-da-da's beneath them. What else besides them?

The tour version of The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun has always been different from the versions on ANJ. Over on her forum Lisa herself addressed the question here. She was also kind enough to supply us with the tour version of the lyrics which can be found here. The missing second verse goes: Now let the day begin Now every dancer spin Step in and step out again ya da da da da da da Let every bell to ring Trumpet and violin Let every chorus sing ya da da da da da da ..... The RTE's Point recording that's listed under the Celtic Woman section of the forum has the tour version on it if you would like to hear it. aislin

Yes a majority of the songs are a bit different on tour....
The Sky The Dawn The Sun has an extra verse and chorus, and the instrumental is musically arranged differently. This is the ORIGINAL considering it was written for the tour in 2005. It was shortened on the CD and DVD due to time resitrictions.
At The Ceili has more instrumental parts live, and also extra chorus parts. Orlagh also repeats the phrase "His girl forever more" one more time than is on the CD.
Dulaman is slightly different than the CD/DVD as there is an extra part where you would think there would be a chorus, but instead the choir is chanting and Hayley/Meav come back in again with the "da da da da da" part.
Orinoco Flow is also different live as opposed to the CD and both DVDs because the choir now has "Ah"s in several parts of the song, whereas they do not on the albums.
If I have missed anything let me know....this all just comes from experience from seeing Celtic Woman live from every tour they have done since the beginning!!!
