Eoin Hand - Monica's Song Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Once, Robert Emmet etched his name, upon an upstairs window pane
  • Of, the Dublin pub, my mother owned, a long long time ago,
  • The oldest tavern, in the land, still brazen, by the Liffey stands,
  • Defying time and god and man, for nine hundreds years and more.
  • And from my infant years I grew, In rooms that Tone and Davitt knew
  • Joyce and Swift and Collins too. Those hero's one and all
  • A safe house for the brave and free, and all who treasure liberty
  • Still calling out to you and me, from creaking floors and ancient walls,
  • And as this cities evening bells, ring out across the liffy swells
  • The ghosts still weave their haunting spells, as the evening shadows fall.
  • They say their task is left undone, that there are battles to be won,
  • By you and me and everyone, who would answer Irelands call.
  • As we struggle through these troubled days, the Oliver and Fagan ways
  • Humiliated and betrayed, pickpocketed of dreams...
  • Those we trusted, with the task to lead, repayed us with deceit and greed,
  • Now were' paying for the lives they lead, far way, beyond our means,
  • But shadows mean, the sun still shines, On this beloved land of mine,
  • And I hope, for better times, for the sunshine after rain.
  • When we will face the final test, and lay those troubled ghost to rest,
  • Change our Emerald Island of the west, Into, a nation once again
  • Yes shadows mean the sun still shines, on this beloved land of mine
  • And I hope and pray for better times, for the sunshine after rain,
  • When we will face the final test, and lay those troubled ghosts to rest
  • Change our Emerald Island of the west, Into a nation once again...
  • Once Robert Emmet etched his name... Upon an upstairs window pane
  • Of the Dublin pub my mother owned, A long long time ago...
