AS WE GATHER
IN THE CHAPEL HERE
IN OLD KILMAINHAM GAOL
I THINK ABOUT THESE
PAST FEW WEEKS
OH, WILL THEY SAY WE'VE FAILED
FROM OUR SCHOOL DAYS
THEY HAVE TOLD US
WE MUST YEARN FOR LIBERTY
YET, 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
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 PADHRAIC
CALLED ME TO HIS SIDE
DOWN IN THE G.P.O.
I HAD TO LEAVE
MY OWN SICK BED
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
FOR WE MUST SAY GOODBYE
NOW AS THE DAWN IS BREAKING
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 THE 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
FOR WE MUST SAY GOODBYE
NO, THERE WON'T BE TIME
TO SHARE OUR LOVE
FOR WE MUST SAY GOODBYE
