"Sacred Ground" lyrics
Sacred Ground
It’s two o’clock in the morning
I’m looking at the stars
The waves are lapping at Killiney beach
As I pass away the hours.
At seven am I’ll catch the train
Look at the boats as I pass Dun Laoghaire
Dublin Bay opens up for the day
Tara St. empties the weary.
There’s no where better
Nowhere to be found
Dublin is the place I love
It’s like walking on sacred ground
Sacred ground.
Coffee in Bewleys on Grafton Street
Buy a CD or two in HMV
The streets are filling, the people warm
I’ll take a stroll along the Quays.
When evening comes I’ll head again
Travel out beside the sea
The Ferry might be leaving now
But I’m where I want to be.
There’s no where better
Nowhere to be found
Dublin is the place I love
It’s like walking on sacred ground
Sacred ground.
It’s like walking on sacred ground
Sacred ground.
It’s like walking on sacred ground
Sacred ground.
It’s like walking on sacred ground
Sacred ground.
It’s like walking on sacred ground
Sacred ground.

About my song
I wrote the lyrics for this last month after taking the train into Dublin from my home. It was one of those that came really quickly and echoes how much our home city means to us. Gave it to John and he came up with a beautiful tuneful slow ballad. John’s demo here. The final band version will have key changes, nice solos and a choir on the end, but I think this sounds really good already, a good song is a good song. Tony.
