Grace

[Verse]
As we gather in the chapel, here in old Kilmainham Gaol
I think about these past few weeks, or will they say we 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 will 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, for wе must say goodbye

[Verse]
Now I know it's hard for you my love to evеr understand
The love I bear for these brave men, my love for this dear land
But 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 will 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, for we must say goodbye

[Verse]
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

[Chorus]
Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They will 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

[Outro]
Yes there won't be time to share our love, for we must say goodbye
