Blood Of Emeralds

Blood Of Emeralds - Gary Moore

I was born up on the North side

Where the Lagan River flows

When I came across the border

I was following my nose

Dublin' city '69

There could have been no better place

There was no better time

Through the thunder and the rain

The deepest blood of emeralds

Was running through my veins

Blood of emeralds

I was down and out on Skid Row

But I held on to my pride

The darkest son of Ireland

He was standin' by my side

We would sail the stormy seas

Never looking back

We were afraid of what we'd see

Through the thunder and the rain

The deepest blood of emeralds

Was running through our veins

Some of us will win

And some of us will lose

The strong will survive

Some of us will fall

Some of us won't get out of here alive

Blood of emeralds

Blood of emeralds

I was angry I was sad

Just thinking about the times we had

I felt so lost and lonely too

What could I say what could I do

And after all the time goes by

No one knows the reasons why

You lived each day like

There was no tomorrow

You spent those years living

On time you borrowed

And in your eyes

All I could see was sorrow

Some of us will win

Some of us will lose

The strong will survive

Some of us will fall

Some of us won't get out of here alive
