|
I was born up on the |
|
North side, |
|
Where the |
|
Lagan River flows. |
|
When I came across the border, |
|
I was following my nose. |
|
Dublin city '69, |
|
There could have been no better place, |
|
There was no better time. |
|
Through the thunder and the rain, |
|
The deepest blood of emeralds |
|
Was running through my veins. |
|
Blood of emeralds. |
|
I was down and out on |
|
Skid Row, |
|
But I held on to my pride. |
|
The darkest son of |
|
Ireland, He was standin' by my side. |
|
We would sail the stormy seas. |
|
Never looking back, |
|
We were afraid of what we'd see. |
|
Through the thunder and the rain, |
|
The deepest blood of emeralds |
|
Was running through our veins. |
|
Some of us will win and some of us will lose, |
|
The strong will survive. |
|
Some of us will fall, |
|
Some of us won't get out of here alive. |
|
Blood of emeralds. |
|
Blood of emeralds. |
|
I was angry, |
|
I was sad, |
|
Just thinking about the times we had. |
|
I felt so lost and lonely too, |
|
What could |
|
I say, what could |
|
I do? After all, the time goes by. |
|
No one knows the reasons why. |
|
You lived each day like there was no tomorrow. |
|
You spent those years living on time you borrowed. |
|
And in your eyes, all |
|
I could see was sorrow. |
|
Some of us will win, some of us will lose, |
|
The strong will survive. |
|
Some of us will fall, |
|
Some of us won't get out of here alive. |
|
Blood of emeralds. |
|
Blood of emeralds. |
|
Blood of emeralds. |
|
Blood of emeralds. |
|
The deepest blood of emeralds. |
|
Blood of emeralds. |
|
The deepest blood of emeralds. |
|
The deepest, deepest blood of emeralds. |
