Grace

Grace - Irish Songs

As we gather in the chapel here

In old Kilmainham Jaill

I think about these last 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

So we must say goodbye

Now I know it's hard for you

My love to ever understand

The love I shared for these brave men

The love for my dear land

But when Pádhraic called me

To his side down in the GPO

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'll place this wedding ring upon your finger

There won't be time to share our love

So we must say goodbye

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 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 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

So we must say goodbye

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

So we must say goodbye

There won't be time to share our love

So we must say goodbye
