Grace
As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmanhaim JailI think about these past few weeks, oh, will they say we failed
From our school days they have told us we must yearn for Liberty
But all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me
Chorus:
Oh, Grace just hold in your arms and let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love, so we must say good bye
Now, I know it's hard for you, my love, to ever understand
The love I bare for these brave men, my love for this dear land
But when Padric 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
As I walk out on this may morn, my thoughts will be of you
So write these words upon the wall so everyone will know
I loved so much that I could see his blood upon the rose
Chorus
