Mary Black – Song for Ireland

Song for Ireland

The Dubliners

Walking all the day
By all towers where falcons build their nests
In silver wings they fly,
For they know the call for freedom in their breasts,
We saw Black Head against the sky
With craggy rocks that run down to the sea
When living on your western shore,
Saw summer sun set, I asked for more,
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
And sang a song for Ireland

Drinking all the day,
In old pubs where fiddlers love to play,
Saw one take the bow,
To play a reel that was so grand and gay,
I stood on Dingle beach and cast,
In the wild foam for the Atlantic bass,
When living on your western shore,
Saw the summer sunset, I asked form more,
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
And sang a song for Ireland

Laughing all the day,
With true friends who try to make you stay,
Telling jokes and news,
And singing songs to pass the night away,
We watched the Galway salmon run,
Like silver dancing, darting in the sun,
When living on your western shore,
Saw the summer sunset, I asked form more,
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
And sang a song for Ireland

Dreaming in the night,
I saw a land where no-man had to fight,
And waking in your dawn,
I saw you crying in the morning light,
When lying where the falcons fly,
They twist and turn all in your air-blue sky,
When living on your western shore,
Saw the summer sunset, I asked no more,
I stood by your Atlantic sea,
And sang a song for Ireland

Grace – Jim McCann – The Original & The Best Version – Lyrics by Seán O’Meara

Lyrics

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
