Grace
As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham jail
I think about the last few weeks
And they will 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
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 must be hard for you, my love, to understand
The love I bear for this brave place
A love for these brave men
For when pouring coal meets who is tied down at the GPO
I had to leave my own sickbed
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 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
All 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 love so much that I could see his blood upon a 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
There won't be time to share our love
So we must say goodbye
I think about the last few weeks
And they will 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
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 must be hard for you, my love, to understand
The love I bear for this brave place
A love for these brave men
For when pouring coal meets who is tied down at the GPO
I had to leave my own sickbed
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 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
All 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 love so much that I could see his blood upon a 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
There won't be time to share our love
So we must say goodbye
