Lyrics

- lyrics / music: dropkick murphys (casey, barton, kelly) -

I once met a young girl filled with fire, that saw through my front to this shell of a man
She knew I'd be a handful from the start, this strong willed woman had an angels heart
The holes in these wings don't allow me to fly
So you'd better brace for a life of pain, and if fate is the path to this better life
Somehow I feel you'll never see the faces change

Chorus:
Through thick and thin, she stood by you
She held the key to my broken heart

I look back and wonder, sit and ponder. how I could have ever neglected you
For the blood soaked soil on the old ball field, I gambled on a hand I wasn't ready to lose
But if the tables were turned and I faced the troubles, tough times and struggles I put you through
I'd of been there as you were through heartache and hardship
My life and my love are pledged to you

Chorus:

Remember the nights she waited and wondered, fused to a myth that it had taken it's toll
But this godless man has mended his way, never again will she be alone

I remember it well, still I always knew that she was destined to be my bride
This woman had pride, she was full of life. I could see the passion in her eyes
She thought she found a man, but she fell for the devil
An evil monster in disguise. now I'll honor and obey, forever stay
True to you, my irish rose

Chorus:
