Lisa Nemzo – The Official Website

HOME

I love creating music videos! And ones particularly with a larger purpose. I have two more videos still to create, One Kind Word – couldn’t be more timely. Based on true life stories, kindness through words and actions. Violent Haze – domestic violence, legislation saying it shouldn’t be a crime! We must protect our mothers and children.

We need an administrator, a marketer, a bookkeeper, a lawyer, artists, musicians, engineers, mixers editors, cinematographers who want to participate. If you’re interested, contact me!


Inspired by a dream, “The Moorings” by Lisa Nemzo is a cinematic pop-folk ballad and tragic love story that spans centuries.

In the 1800s, a mariner sails away from his beloved, leaving her behind with a promise to return. But fate keeps them apart — she dies of a broken heart, and he soon follows. Across lifetimes, their souls wander, until destiny brings them face-to-face once more.
Sometimes love is so powerful it cannot die…and souls find each other after searching for many lifetimes…

THE MOORINGS
Lyrics & Music by Lisa Nemzo © 2025 Little Chicken Music ASCAP

Verse 1

I fall to my knees in prayer for my beloved

To keep her safe from harm

For the channel is full of mystery and danger 

And the oceans my darling can keep us apart

Verse 2

I left her at dawn with the smell of bread baking

I left on a ship that sailed out to sea

And the mist that she saw were my tears falling

For I knew in my heart I may not see her again

Chorus

Fare thee well, my true love

Ah, the moorings will keep you

Protect you from strangers that come from afar

Like Morgaine in Avalon on that magical island

I know that you’ll love me ‘til death do us part

Verse 3 

Many years passed and I didn’t return

But the love I felt for you still ached, it did burn

I thought I saw you on the cliff that morning

As we sailed round the point of McArdle Bay

Verse 4

I took my belongings and came to our home

It was empty and quiet I knew not where you’d gone

But to find you had died of a heart deep in mourning

I laid down my body and dreamed of your face 

Chorus 2

Fare thee well, my true love

Ah, the moorings will keep you

Protect you from strangers that come from afar

Like Morgaine in Avalon on that magical island

I know that you’ll love me ‘til death do us part

Verse 5

I have searched many lifetimes to find you my lady

And now that I have it seems it’s too late

For I see we have chosen two different pathways

One heading for fortune one headed for fate

Chorus 3

Fare thee well, my true love

Ah, the moorings will keep you

Protect you from strangers that come from afar

Like Morgaine in Avalon on that magical island

I know that you’ll love me ‘til death do us part (repeat line)
