Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bright Blue Rose (Jimmy MacCarthy)
I hear this song a great deal at song sessions in Ireland. Most of the singers I've heard do a fine job singing the song, but I don't like to hear it because I cringe at the words "It is the only way," in conjunction with "to ponder his life and his death eternally". Smacks of the "only true faith" mentality i.m.o.
