I’ll Stand Alone

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Set out from the Doorin shore In the shallows A calm had spread from the north To the south shoals A dot on the endless sky The storm came upon our sights [Verse 2] Tomorrow will come But not for you young ones No I won't heed your warn I'll battle the wave and the storm I'll stand alone [Verse 3] In Cobh we spent the night Sate with Abbot's ale Lay down with a lass Alas my eyes did fail On the road the following morn The robbers came upon nay warning [Verse 4] Mates made for the trees Left me on my knees I'll not cede this gold I've come too far to roll I'll stand alone [Verse 5] Settled on the shores Adare The place that I was born The past had left me bare No will to fight any more The brigands rang the bell Ships came in without warning [Verse 6] The years that I was brave The soldiers and the slave The battle lay for me now I know not where nor how [Outro] I'll stand alone I'll stand alone I'll stand alone I'll stand alone
