Grace Lyrics by The Wolfe Tones

You’ll Never Beat the Irish

0

[Verse 1]
As we gathered in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Jail
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

[Chorus]
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'll place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love, so we must say goodbye

[Verse 2]
Now I know it's hard for you, my love, to ever understand
The love I bare for these great men, my love for this dear land
So when Pádraic 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

[Chorus]
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'll place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love, so we must say goodbye

[Verse 3]
Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too
On this May morn as I walk out, my thoughts will be with 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

[Chorus]
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'll place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love, so we must say goodbye
Now there won't be time to share our love, so we must say goodbye
