Elders - Love Of The Century lyrics
Your rating:
If you could only see her face one time against the Green blue sea And hear the pipes at sunset I know you would believe They say she launched a thousand ships and a hundred Billion tears And in this leaky boat I've been nye on forty years I've seen the light in her eyes and drowned in her Mystery And I've seen those who gave up the ghost For the Love of the Century In this holy mercy light that shines on every man Who had a heart to give away to reach the promised land Is there any man among us a hundred thousand strong A nation full of broken hearts can all of us be wrong To climb every mountain high sail every ocean deep Spend a life roving never be holding The Love of the Century She walks the cliffs of County Cork the ocean down Below Dreaming' of a love she lost a long long time ago His legend was a captain brave that went down with his Crew On the jagged rocks of Migen Head and a son he never Knew He built castles in her name though she had no other Need But one more chance to be safe in the arms Of the Love of the Century
