David Gray - Irish Rose lyrics

a beauty so bold and free living ever so quietly in this emerald paradise i have heard from many a lad that the 'Irish Rose' is also known as the goddess of Irish descent who walks with a spring in her step and is filled with song and dance she is indeed a symbol of strength and perseverance and is fiercely proud of her heritage but there is something that makes this regal lady quite unique and that is she is a rose without thorns who touches all who are in her presence with a bewitching sense of awe and wonder you become mesmerized by her grace and elegance are soon convinced that you could entrust your soul to the mother of Ireland her pale white skin and sea green eyes add to the drama and the mystery her long slender fingers dance like a ballerina doing a pirouette as she strokes the strings of her harp like a maestro perfecting his art the mother of Ireland her beauty is so captivating it leaves you weak in the knees but inspires you nonetheless to reach higher than you ever dared to dream elizabeth copyright 2006 getbrighteyes@comcast.net
