ireland - dar williams lyrics

when the morning mist is rising
and the hudson nearly blue
with the branches all a’ blowing
and the sun comes sifting through
i stare with homesick wonder
for my thoughts all turn to you
and my memory fills with deeper greens and blues
and ireland is always in the news
i called your struggle useless
and my home a battlefield
and i cursed the hope of moving
i left you all behind me
crying that your fate was sealed
but the anger not the love here i did lose
and ireland is always in the news
but now i’m having nightmares
for the picture will not fade
of one hundred black umbrellas
shining in a great parade
i guess i had it coming
it’s a cold hard price i paid
for yes i did choose
to find my brother’s funeral in the news
so don’t you get your hopes up
but i think i’m coming home
for maybe there’ll be freedom
with one more shoulder to that stone
i may end up a martyr
but i will not end alone
oh your are a family that i can’t refuse
oh ireland you’re dying in the news

- dar williams lyrics
