Album: The Emerald City
On St. Patrick's Day
Would you care to walk with me
Once more tonight
Old streets we knows become a new delight
Where the wildcats prowl
And the young men howl
Through every darkened door
From which we scoured
So hold my hand and let you go
On everything that hurt you so
And stay close to me
Oh a stòr mo chroì (Love of My Heart)
Warm in my coat my love
Right here upon my knee
On St. Patrick's Day
By grace you come
Through hell you go
But grace will come my love
Even when you think it's flown
For I'm so in love
That I can't deny
You are the girl I've dreamed of all my life
And life is full
Of heartbreak and fear
So it's cause to celebrate
Said your oldest dearest mate
Said johnny come have a drink
Before ya's go and leave us all behind
Now I look on that goodbye
With a shiver in my spline
It was the last words
That I ever heard him speak
It was right out of the blue
There was nothing we could we could do
Now we're gathered round the front door
Smokin' outside Johnny's wake
OH HERE'S TO YOU, OH HERE'S TO YOU
YOU DON'T DESERVE WHAT YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH
AND THROATS DID CRACK AND HANDS DID SHAKE
But don't forget that it was meant
For you to enjoy right here
And to celebrate each breath my dear
And to commemorate another year
We are all still here
