Verse
Gm C
I walked the stairs, I walked the stairs
Gm A# C
From the shadows, a light of you flared
Gm A# C
Then I walked the roads, I walked, walked the roads
Gm A# C
And they brought me to the raw shores of Cóbh
[Chorus]

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

I watched my boy, I watched, watched my boy

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
