Verse
D#m G#
I walked the stairs, I walked the stairs
D#m F# G#
From the shadows, a light of you flared
D#m F# G#
Then I walked the roads, I walked, walked the roads

And they brought me to the raw shores of Cóbh
[Chorus]

New York, a cough of blood
F# G#
Along the waterfront
F# G#
My dreams were calling out
F#
Of sky and stone
