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

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

I went home, I went, went on home

My story's told
