From what I've gathered, Shane has written the lyrics only, but not the tune or the music. His partner Viccy said that as well.

Why can't The Pogues get into a studio and record this? Imagine how great it would sound............

I'll swim and sail on savage seas
With ne'er a fear of drowning
And gladly ride the waves of life
If you will marry me
No scorching sun
Nor freezing cold
Will stop me on my jour-ney


If you will promise me your heart
And love me for eternity
My dearest one my darling dear
Your mighty words astound me
But I've no need of mighty deeds
When I feel your arms around me

But I would bring you rings of gold
I'd even sing you poetry
And I would keep you from all harm
If you would stay beside me

I have no use for rings of gold
I care not for your poetry
I only want your hand to hold


I only want you near me
To love to kiss to sweetly hold
For the dancing and the dreaming
Through all life's sorrows and delights
I'll keep your love beside me
I'll swim and sail on savage seas
With ne'er a fear of drowning
And gladly ride the waves of life
If you will marry me

Apparently Shane has written the lyrics for a ballad called ‘For the Dancing and the Dreaming’ for the animated movie "How To Train Your Dragon 2". Sung by the characters, though.
