Lyrics

As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Gaol
I think about these last few weeks, oh, will they say we failed?
From our school days, they have told us we must yearn for liberty
But all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me
So, Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger
We won't have time to share our love so we must say goodbye
Now I know, my love, it's hard for you to ever understand
The love I bear for these brave men, my love for this dear land
But when Albert called me to his side down in the GPO
I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go
So, Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger
We won't have time to share our love so we must say goodbye
Now as the dawn was breaking, my heart was breaking too
On this May morn as I walk out, my thoughts will be of you
And I'll write these words upon the wall so everyone will know
I loved so much that I could see his blood upon the rose
So, Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger
We won't have time to share our love so we must say goodbye
So, Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger
We won't have time to share our love so we must say goodbye
