Verse
Bm E
I walked the stairs, I walked the stairs
Bm D E
From the shadows, a light of you flared
Bm D E
Then I walked the roads, I walked, walked the roads
Bm D E
And they brought me to the raw shores of Cóbh
[Chorus]
D E
New York, a cough of blood
D E
Along the waterfront
D E
My dreams were calling out
D
Of sky and stone
[Interlude]

Look out for my son

Look out for my son
My blood and bone

I nursed the dead, I nursed, I nursed the dead

And I drew the curtains 'cross my own head

Began to feel I'm never alone

My story's told

When I crossed the Atlantic

I arrived on the Westside
