A haunting lament of love, loss… and reunion.
Where Is My Love? is a soul-baring, Irish-style lament in the tradition of old seafaring ballads. Told from the perspective of a woman whose lover has been press-ganged into naval service, this song is a sorrowful yet hopeful cry across the ocean — sung almost entirely a cappella, with just a whisper of instrumental arrangement beneath Caitlin Grey’s pure, ethereal voice.
🎙 “He was gone for a year and a day…” — Her voice is the only compass. Her sorrow, the only tide.
Inspired by traditional Irish folk, this piece draws from centuries of musical storytelling — love torn apart by war or sea, a woman pining on the shore, and a final, redemptive reunion.
🌊 Featured in Caitlin Grey’s celebrated article exploring folk archetypes and feminine lament traditions, Where Is My Love? carries echoes of Enya, Julie Fowlis, and Celtic Woman, yet remains unmistakably her own.
🎧 Arranged with deep restraint by Neil Harvey, whose subtle musical touch enhances the emotion without ever overpowering it.
📀 From Caitlin's 2013 Award-winning debut album 'Siren's Song'
Composed by Caitlin Grey/Neil Harvey.
Lyrics.
Oh where is my love?
He is gone, he is gone away
He will never return again
And he has broken my heart in twain
Oh come back, come back, my love
And we’ll walk in the fields of corn
And we’ll dance by the light of the moon
And I will love you for ever more
Then one day did my love return
And my love, many tales did tell
Said the gang pressed him hard to sail
And he was gone for a year and a day
He came back, came back to me
And we walked in the fields of corn
And we danced by the light of the moon
(And) He was my true love for ever more
He was my true love for ever more.
