Lyrics
I'll dance from the grave
I'll not have it said
Brian Boru shared his bed
With long red unlucky locks
He was loved, I was kept away from the docks
And I've laid down
With many men
My heart's been stretched to the earth's end
Serenade me the last time
Stretch the night as you do your spine
By milky white, silky my skin
To nobody's been but you been
My brother and son
They want you gone
They've offered me up to the unknown
Saying I'm bad luck Brian
It's dangerous lying beside me
It's not luck Brian, I know things
In grieving, I pinned
Black red rings of fire
In grieving, black dressed
My silky white entire
I'll be seeing you soon
I'm affected by the moon
And in another world love
There's a better world for us
I'll dance from the grave
I'll not have it said
Brian Boru laid his head
With long red unlucky locks
He was loved, I was kept away from the docks
