I was[C] walking down by Island Bridge just doing as I [G]please
This April day the sun was warm There was but a gentle[C] breeze I wandered up the old stone[C7] steps into the Phoenix [F]Park To watch the children laugh and[G] play In the hours before the[C] dark. I strolled up the monument and lay down on the ground Then people started crying when they heard the battle sound I don't know what came over me for a moment I could hear The echo of a soldier's voice kept calling in my ear Met me at the Pillar son, met me there at noon I need you brave young Irishmen, there is something we must do. Chorus: Meet[C] me at the[F] Pillar son,Please meet me there at [C]noon,I need you brave young[G] Irishmen,there's something we must[C] do,please meet me at the[F] pillar son , for it still is not too[C] late It's time to sing a[G] freedom song Come soon I cannot[C] wait I turned around to see this man but nobody was there In the distance I could here the Drums Yet it's stillness fill the air I closed my eyes and in my dreams a soldier I could see He said his name was Padraig Pearse [ song ] and he kept on calling me. That awful night I lay awake and many times I cried I could not answer his command no matter how I tried There in the dark I did my best to say a silent prayer That when they take him to his fate He'll know how much I care. |
