I was half listening to "The Three Tenors" on public t.v.and caught the last lines of a very beautiful song,

"there won't be time to share our love,
for I must say good-bye".

Thanks in advance. Blessings Angel 1

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

Hi! Thank you for the quick reply. You never have to wait long in the Mudcat, it's great.

I did do a search but nothing came up. I went to the Rego Irish record site just to look up all the songs on the cd, and I thought Grace was the only one it could be. Anyway, I can't bring anything up on it in the search. I don't know what the problem is, I will try again now. Like U, I have been around off and on for about a year now, but I still don't know how much of how the site works. I just do the best I can and everyone seems to be super patient with others lack of knowledge. Thanks again. Blessings Angel 1

Thank U so much. I did try again and was successful. I guess I was just to tired. (That is apparent from what I wrote.) I don't often use the search but it's a wonderful service.

Thanks again Miss Mac. U and Brakn R precious souls. Blessings Angel 1

I clicked the thread U gave and it is not the one I followed. Again, thank you so much, it's been a sad but beautiful trip. Any of the new members who missed it should go and take 'the tour', not just of the jail but the whole site. I guess I just don't come to the Mudcat often enough and I miss so much. Again, blessings and thanks. Angel 1

the lyrics are in the Digital Tradition

Note from Joe Offer. At least for now, we have decided not to update the Digital Tradition. We will leave it the way it was when Dick Greenhaus died.
