Gaelic Storm
Watery Grave
No warning flare screamed through the airA light in wind and rainThe granite teeth of Mizen ReefHad risen once againMany a mast was brokenMany a spire was savedMany a ship was pulled belowDown to its watery graveIn Village Bar and houses farThey answered to the cryAt the door of number fourShe kissed her love goodbyeOh, many a man was wokenMany a soul to saveMany a mother’s sonDrew whiskey from that watery graveThey launched the boat and once afloatThey headed for the wreck Past the key, that troubled seaCrashed down upon their deckMany a crash they tookMany an icy waveMany a time it triedTo take them to a watery graveLetras de cancionesThose ain’t so proud they prayed aloud“Save us from the foam.”But no one heard a single wordFor none would make it homeMany a hope they hadMany a try they gaveMany a fear those fishermenWent to his watery graveThat raging sea, no place to beOn that stormy nightFrom the shore the young ones saw themLose their gallant fightOh, many a heart was brokenMany a one so braveMany a woman watched her loveGo to his watery graveNo flowers lay upon the bayNo stone to mark the placeThe only shrine that you will findAre the teardrops on her faceOh, many a heart was brokenMany were lost, so braveMany a dream was laid to restDown in that watery graveOh, many a heart was brokenMany were lost, so braveMany a heart was laid to restDown in that watery grave
