Shibboleth

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your beauty in the spotlight It was something to behold A final hope of something good A pool of solid gold [Chorus] Mo ghrá, mo chroí, mo chúisle How hard it is to see A mhuirnín, they have brought you to your knees [Verse 2] You Riverdanced around the world A shining shibboleth You dared to take the breath away Of everyone you met [Chorus] Mo ghrá, mo chroí, mo chúisle How hard it is to see A mhuirnín, they have brought you to your knees [Verse 3] The rains that you're so famous for I've only realised Are just the tears you fail to keep Cascading from your eyes [Chorus] Mo ghrá, mo chroí, mo chúisle How hard it is to see A mhuirnín, they have brought you to your knees [Chorus] Mo ghrá, mo chroí, mo chúisle How hard it is to see Oh, a mhuirnín, they have brought you to your knees
