lirik lagu ciaran murphy - the dunes
[verse 1]
i walked today on the cold, grey shore
where i watched when i was much younger
where we stacked our dead beneath the sand
the dead of the great hunger
the dead of the great hunger
[verse 2]
although i was a doctor’s son
i watched in fear and wonder
as we perished from the raging plague
that came in on the great hunger
that came in on the great hungеr
[verse 3]
when i watched at the agе of four
in 1847
we stacked our dead beneath the sand
they pointed to the heavens
they pointed to the heavens
[verse 4]
ah, the fiddler played as we drank poitín
and ate the last of the berries
ah we knelt and said the rosary
round the mounds of dead we’d buried
round the mounds of dead we’d buried
[verse 5]
the dunes are all but flattened now
the rain and the wind have peeled them, oh
but the kids, they kick the sand around
and the bones, they are revealed then
then the bones, they are revealed then
[verse 6]
i saw a flash light up the sky
across the western seaboard
and i took my chance and shot him down
the bailiff and the landlord
the bailiff and the landlord
and then i went for a drink in westport
i went for a drink in westport
[verse 7]
and then i walked again on the cold, grey shore
where i watched when i was much younger, oh
where we stacked our dead beneath the sand
the dead of the great hunger
the dead of the great hunger
