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 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 bare for these brave men the love for my dear land but when pdraic called me to his side down in the gpo 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 ll 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 loved 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 ll place this wedding ring upon your finger there won t be time to share our love for we must say goodbye for we must say goodbye
