Fionnuala
In Irish mythology, Finnguala (modern spellings: Fionnghuala or Fionnuala; literally fionn-ghuala meaning "fair-shoulder") was the daughter of Lir of the Tuatha Dé Danann. In the legend of the Children of Lir, she was changed into a swan and cursed by her stepmother, Aoife, to wander the lakes and rivers of Ireland, with her brothers Fiachra, Conn and Aodh, for 900 years until saved by the marriage of Lairgren, son of Colman, son of Cobthach, and Deoch, daughter of Finghin, whose union broke the curse. 'The Song of Albion', with lyrics by Thomas Moore speaks of her wanderings.
The name is anglicized as Fenella. The shortened version Nuala is commonly used as a first name in contemporary Ireland.

Driving To Nowhere
by: FinleyLights on the highway
Everyone's sleeping
The air is so cold
The sky has turned to black
I got your letter
Nothing's forever Something is over
I am sure you won't come back
It's a better thing for us
That's all that you said
Thanks for all that you gave me
Until this last day
I'm still calling and screaming
Your name with no sound
Maybe one day you'll hear me
But I'll spend tonight
Driving to nowhere
Driving to nowhere
Some say some good things
Break in a heartbeat
Same goes for us I
have to live with that
And I call myself blind
It's so late to realize
That I have wasted all this time
Running after you
Nothing hurts like the truth does
That's all I can say
Thanks for all that you gave me
Untill this last day
I'm still calling and screaming
Your name with no sound
Maybe one day you'll hear me
But I'll spend tonight
Driving to nowhere Driving to nowhere
