	The song is called "My Lagan Love" and was on the B-side of the
original EMI "Cloudbusting" 12"single (not to be confused with the
EMI-America "Cloudbusting" 12 inch that was released in 1987). 
It is a traditional song, and many different lyrics have been written for
it. Kate's brother John wrote the lyrics for this particular version.
And just to fill a little space, here are the lyrics as transcribed by our
pseudo-moderator back in 1985:

        MY LAGAN LOVE
        -------------

        When rainy nights are soft with tears
        And Autumn leaves are falling
        I hear his voice on tumbling waves
        And no one there to hold me
        At evening's fall he watched me walk
        His heart was mine
        But my love was young and felt
        The world was not cruel, but kind
        Where Lagan's light fell on the hour
        I saw him far below me
        Just as the morning calmed the storm
        With no one there to hold him
        My loves have come, my loves have gone
        And nothing's left to warn me
        Save for a voice on the traveling wind
        And the glimpse of a face at morning
