Subject: Lyr Add: GRACE (Frank & Sean O'Meara)
Hi angel there was a thread on this song a while ago so I just cut and pasted the lyrics here for you.

I have been lurking on the cat for a long time but haven't learned how to do the blue clicky things yet or I would link you to the thread try typing Grace in the Forum box to find out more

It is titled

GRACE

As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Jail
I think about these past few weeks, oh will they say we've 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.

CHORUS: Oh Grace just hold me in your arms ad 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 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 the Padhraic called me to his side down in the GPO
I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go. CHORUS

Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too,
On this May morn as I walk out my thoughts well 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 the rose. CHORUS
