Opens his hand, reads his name, grabs the bottle, and swallows again | |
Thinks of the wife he’s left behind, touches the photo and closes his eyes | |
Thinks of the time where he walked from the street under the light and killed a man dead | |
A chroí, a chroí, a chroí dhearg, [Heart, heart, red heart] | |
stad do bhualadh, tá mé gan dóchas [stop your beating, I am without hope] | |
Whiskey-burned memories come crashing to the floor | |
For each one that’s gone there’s twenty-five more | |
That’ll burn him and crush him right through to the core | |
He’s filled with the thoughts of those gone before | |
He opens his mouth and all that comes out is a fractured song from a fractured heart | |
He grabs the bottle and swallows again, picks up the blade that’s singin his name | |
A chroí, a chroí, a chroí dhearg, [Heart, heart, red heart] | |
stad do bhualadh, tá mé gan dóchas [stop your beating, I am without hope] | |
