Cara 1975年出生在 Dungiven 的 Co. Derry ，她的家庭是一个沉浸在传统爱尔兰音乐里的家庭。14岁时，她赢得了 All Ireland Traditional Singing Trophy ，也就是从这时开始，Cara 拥有了与年轻的爱尔兰乐队 Oige 一起成为杰出歌手的声望。1995年，Cara 取代 Kate Rusby 成为新晋知名乐队 The Equation 的主唱。从这时开始，Cara 和 The Equation 的创始人 Sam Lakeman 建立了紧密的音乐联系，并且在90年代中期他们共同离开 The Equation 后，这种关系发展得更加迅速。不平常的久经世故的历程但同时又毫不骄傲，这个特点使他们的音乐透露出清新的想象力和可观的天资。当 Cara 仍然在民歌领域不太知名的时候，《After the Morning》毫无疑问地为她征得了一些民歌歌迷的心。

歌词:

If you want me, I'll be at your door
And if you need me, I'll be by your side
Cause everyday is a long, winding road
And I'll always be here, don't you know
I wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why
I always try, I wonder why, I wonder why

Everytime I look at you, I feel the blues
Can't hide the pain inside
No one ever told me that my heart could break a hundred thousand times
Never in a million years I thought the tears could break a heart of stone
If you need me, let me know

If you got no one to give your heart to
If you search down, you can't find the truth
When they tell you it's time to let go
Well I'll always be here, don't you know
I wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why

Everytime I look at you, I feel the blues
Can't hide the pain inside
No one ever told me that my heart could break a hundred thousand times
Never in a million years I thought the tears could break a heart of stone
If you need me, let me know

Huh, nobody told me that the wind, the trees and the summer breeze and all
And you carry the weight of the world on your shoulder
Lies and truth
And I see the sun catch me right to the moon and the sky

Everytime I look at you, I feel the blues
Can't hide the pain inside
No one ever told me that my heart could break a hundred thousand times
Though you never asked me to believe it's true
I've loved you from the start
I've got to find a way to mend today
These wings that need to fly
No one ever told me that my heart could break a hundred thousand times
Never in a million years I thought the tears would break a heart of stone
If you need me, let me know
