Lyrics

As we gather in the chapel here, in old Kilmainham Jail
I think about these past few weeks, oh will they say we failed?
From our schooldays, 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'll place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love, for we must say goodbye
Now I know it's hard for you, my love, to ever understand
The love I bear for these brave men, my love for this dear land
But when Padre 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, for 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'll place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love, for we must say goodbye
Oh, there won't be time to share our love, for we must say goodbye
