Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Veronica-Christy Moore From: Amergin Date: 23 Aug 03 - 08:32 PM does anyone have the lyrics, please? |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Veronica-Christy Moore From: George Seto - af221@chebucto.ns.ca Date: 24 Aug 03 - 12:59 AM Can't be that one, Amergin. www.christymoore.net seems to be a Web-Casino site. Will further look. No, haven't found the lyrics yet. Been out most of the afternoon and evening. |
Subject: Lyr Add: VERONICA (Christy Moore) From: Wolfgang Date: 25 Aug 03 - 06:18 AM VERONICA (Christy Moore) In the broad daylight of a summer's day on the Cork to Dublin motorway suddenly the singing birds were startled in their song in the quiet of that moment our world went out of kilter in that split second Veronica was gone. But you will never silence her your story will be written her spirit won't rest easy until the job is done with boots and fists you broke her bones when you gunned her down at home as soon as she was able she faced you up again. You who made the phone call you who took the message down you who hired the hitman you who hatched the plan you who drew the money down you who paid it over you who remains silent you are guilty everyone. As you lurk around your fortress in secrecy and furtiveness you'll always be reminded of her smiling face as you crawl around the darkness of your criminal insanity forever on the lookout for another hiding place you try to count your friends you ponder on your enemies recalling the whereabouts of your treasure trove but when it's time to write your final will and testament you'll understand what goes to make a legacy of love. Veronica, Veronica, Veronica, warrior woman Veronica, Veronica, Veronica, I offer you this song. copied from the Chrisdty Moore songbook 'One voice'. Wolfgang |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Veronica-Christy Moore From: Amergin Date: 26 Aug 03 - 02:32 PM Thank you very much, Wolfgang....I appreciaate it...this song has been in my head since I first heard it the other day. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Veronica-Christy Moore From: Amergin Date: 26 Aug 03 - 02:37 PM i do wonder though...is the movie When The Sky Falls based on her? |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Veronica-Christy Moore From: Wolfgang Date: 26 Aug 03 - 02:42 PM Thanks to you too, Amergin. I had never really paid attention to this song until your request and that was a shame. Maybe because I have never heard it yet. V.G. seems to have been a wonderful and very courageous woman.
