Moore, Christy - Aisling Lyrics






See the bright new moon is rising
Above the land of black and green
Hear the rebels voices calling
I will not die till you bury me

The aunt upstairs in the bed she is calling
Why has he forsaken me
Faded pictures in the hallway
Which one of them brown ghosts is he

Bless the wind that shakes the barley
Curse the spade and curse the plough
I've counted years and weeks and days
And I wish to God I was with you now

Fare thee well me black-haired diamond
Fare thee well me own Aisling
At night fond dreams of you still haunt me
Far across the grey north sea

And the wind it blows from the North and South
To the East And to the West
I will be like the wind my love
For I will know no rest till I return to thee

1, 2, 3 telegraph poles
Standing on the cold black road
The night is fading into morning
Give us a drop of your sweet poit'n

The rain was lashing - the sun was rising
The wind was howling through the trees
The madness from the mountains crawling
When I saw you first my own Aisling

Bless the wind that shakes the barley
Curse the spade and curse the plough
I've counted years and weeks and days
And I wish to God I was with you now

Fare thee well my black haired diamond
Fare thee well my own Aisling
At night fond dreams of you still haunt me
Far across the grey north sea

  49. F.... S....

    I think thats just you. Christy moore is a legend, and in no sense resembles David Brent. How could you say this Jack Ryan? Actualy yeah ok a little bit but still. It takes a an absolute knave to say it out loud.

  50. J.... R....

    I love Shane McGowan and Christy Moore and I mean no disrespect to either, but Christy reminds me a lot of David Brent in this video.

    Is it just me? I can't be the only one!

  51. A.... R....

    That is my name, if not for this song and the meaning I would probably be called something else. pronounced ash-lin/g it means vision;dream!

  52. A.... S....

    my name is aisling i have no clue what i would be called if it wasnt for this fantastic man. i love him i just thank god for aloowing fate for him to write this song <3 xx lol xx

    A.... S....

    you are referring to Shane? right?

  53. E.... H....

    Your some man Christy !!

  54. a.... ....
