Grace-The O'Neill Brothers

Grace - The O'Neill Brothers 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
