: there is one of a number of wonderful phrases in the Riverdance song "Lift the Wings"

: "Lift the wings,
: that carry me away from here and,
: Fill the sail,
: That breaks the line to home.
: But when I'm milies and miles apart from you,
: I'm beside you when I think of you, a Storin, a Gra."

: The phrase 'breaks the line to home' is unusual Is it a typical Irish or English term?

I have never heard it. It might be a sailing term rather than specifically English or Irish. (I can do the Gaelic, though!)
