On Raglan Road on an autumn day I saw her first and knew That her dark hair would weave a snare that I might one day rue; I saw the danger, yet I passed along the enchanted way, And I said, let grief be a fallen leaf at the dawning of the day.
On Grafton Street in November we tripped lightly along the ledge Of the deep ravine where can be seen the worth of passion’s pledge, The Queen of Hearts still making tarts and I not making hay Oh I loved too much and by such by such is happiness thrown away.
I gave her gifts of the mind I gave her the secret sign that’s known To the artists who have known the true gods of sound and stone And word and tint without stint for I gave her poems to say. With her own name there and her own dark hair like clouds over fields of May
On a quiet street where old ghosts meet I see her walking now Away from me so hurriedly my reason must allow That I had loved not as I should a creature made of clay When the angel woos the clay he’d lose his wings at the dawn of day.
Lyrics: “Dear Danny I’m taking the pen in my hand, to tell you we,re just out of site of the land. In a grand Ocean Liner I’m sailing in style. but I’m sailing away from the em’rald isle, and a long sort o’sight seems to come from us all as the waves hit the last bit of auld Donegal, Oh it is well to be you that is taking yer tay where Cutting the Corn around Creeslough to-day”

Full Works Survey Interior and exterior
The castle built in 1490 is set within the flat landscape of the wider Shannon Estuary and is sheltered by the small island of Carrig only 200m to the north across the salt marsh which is inundated at high tide. The medieval Church of Carrigafoyle stands opposite the castle and is built in the same style.
Carrigafoyle Castle, built between the years 1490 and 1500, is considered one of the strongest of Irish fortresses. It stands on a rock in a small bay off the Shannon estuary, and its name is an Anglicisation of the Irish, Carraig an Phoill “rock of the hole”.
Now a listed National Monument, its battlements provide stunning views of the estuary and the most interesting feature of the building is the dock, which allowed boats to tie up safely. This was particularly important when in the 1500’s the O’Connor’s of Kerry held political power over the area which allowed them to “inspect” ships passing to and from the port of Limerick.
You approached me in the darkness A figure I knew well The silhouette was known to me But it was far too soon to tell
With each step that you drew towards me I knew you less and less A creature of your likeness With a kind of hollowness
And all that winter sun Has ever gave to me Was a couple hours of light And a heat I couldn’t feel So don’t you come to me So bright and bold You promised me the world But you left it in the cold
And I was waiting for the heat to come The light it touched my skin I kept waiting for the heat to come But the cold came creeping in
Like stepping out onto a frozen lake Hid underneath the snow I put my trust in something bound to break But how could I have known
And all that winter sun Has ever gave to me Was a couple hours of light And a heat I couldn’t feel So don’t you come to me So bright and bold You promised me the world But you left it in the cold
And I’ve been blinded by sunshine And oh I hate how sweet the world has seemed Bathed in your cold light
And all that winter sun Has ever gave to me Was a couple hours of light And a heat I couldn’t feel So don’t you come to me So bright and bold You promised me the world But you left it in the cold
And all that winter sun Has ever gave to me Was a couple hours of light And a heat I couldn’t feel So don’t you come to me So bright and bold You promised me the world But you left it in the cold

My heart is low, my heart is so low As only a woman’s heart can be As only a woman’s, as only a woman’s As only a woman’s heart can know
Tears that drip From my bewildered eyes Taste of bitter sweet romance You’re still in my hopes You’re still on my mind And even though I manage on my own
My heart is low, my heart is so low As only a woman’s heart can be As only a woman’s, as only a woman’s As only a woman’s heart can know
Restless eyes Reveal my troubled soul And memories flood my weary heart I mourn for my dreams I mourn for my wasted love And while I know that I’ll survive alone
My heart is low, my heart is so low As only a woman’s heart can be As only a woman’s, as only a woman’s As only a woman’s heart can know My heart is low, my heart is so low As only a woman’s heart can be As only a woman’s, as only a woman’s As only a woman’s heart can know My heart is low, my heart is so low As only a woman’s heart can be As only a woman’s, as only a woman’s
As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Gaol I think about these past few weeks, oh, will they say we’ve failed? From our school days, they have told us we must yearn for liberty Yet, all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me
Oh, Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger They’ll take me out at dawn and I will die With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger There won’t be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
Now, I know it’s hard for you, my love, to ever understand The love I bear for these brave men, my love for this dear land But when Padraig called me to his side down in the G.P.O. I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go
Oh, Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger They’ll take me out at dawn and I will die With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger There won’t be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
Now, as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking, too On this May morn’, as I walk out, my thoughts will be of you And I’ll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know I loved so much that I could see his blood upon the rose
Oh, Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger They’ll take me out at dawn, now I must die With all my love, I’ll place this wedding ring upon your finger There won’t be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
Ah, there won’t be time to share our love so we must say goodbye
