I once met a young girl filled with fire,
|
That saw through my front to this shell of a man
|
She knew I'd be a handful from the start,
|
This strong willed woman had an angels heart
|
The holes in these wings don't allow me to fly
|
So you'd better brace for a life of pain,
|
And if fate is the path to this better life
|
Somehow I feel you'll never see the faces change
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Through thick and thin,
|
She stood by you
|
She held the key to my broken heart
|
|
I look back and wonder,
|
Sit and ponder.
|
How I could have ever neglected you.
|
For the blood soaked soil on the old ball field,
|
I gambled on a hand I wasn't ready to lose
|
But if the tables were turned and I faced the troubles,
|
Tough times and struggles I put you through
|
I'd of been there as you were through heartache and hardship
|
My life and my love are pledged to you.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Remember the nights she waited and wondered,
|
fused to a myth that it had taken it's toll.
|
But this Godless man has mended his way,
|
Never again will she be alone.
|
|
I remember it well,
|
Still I always knew that she was destined to be my bride
|
This woman had pride,
|
She was full of life.
|
I could see the passion in her eyes.
|
She thought she found a man,
|
But she fell for the devil
|
An evil monster in disguise.
|
Now I'll honor and obey,
|
Forever stay.
|
True to you, my Irish rose
|
|
[Chorus]
