Jar of Hearts~Christina Perry

"Jar Of Hearts"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8v_4O44sfjM


No, I can't take one more step towards you
‘Cause all that's waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time

[Chorus:]
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?

I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms

I've learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time

[Chorus]

It took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
‘Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

Smoke Without Fire - Duffy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rHNOTtShwM&feature=related

If I'd known you were cheating me,
I would have saved myself and set you free.
If I learned you weren't the loving kind,
I would have saved some peace of mind.

My friends told me you would break my heart,
And never last, we would surely part.

There's no smoke without fire,
Baby, baby you're a liar.

People talk in this little town,
Rumours keep spreading all around.
And now word has it you've been foolin' me,
I'm so blind that I cannot see.

My friends told me never to believe in you,
You never loved me you were never true.

There's no smoke without fire,
Baby, baby you're a liar.

No there's no smoke without fire.
Baby, baby you're a liar.
You're a liar
You're a liar
You're a liar
Baby you're a liar.

There's no light without a flame,
There's no use in having you to blame.

No
There's no smoke without fire.
Baby, baby you're a liar.
You're a liar
 
Syrup & Honey - Duffy

Wow! Great song--uber cool. Thanks for sharing! :rose:

No worries :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnDC6Mt5ulQ

Don’t you be wasting all your money
On syrup and honey
Cause I'm sweet enough
Don’t you be using every minute
On making a living
Because we've got our love
Listen to me, 1,2,3
Baby, baby, baby spend your time on me

Don’t you be out all night long
Leaving me all alone
Because I, I need your love
Don’t you be spending everyday working away
Because I’m waiting for you
Listen to me, 1,2,3
Baby, baby, baby spend your time on me

Spend it, spend it, spend your time on me
Please baby
Please baby
 
"Right To Be Wrong"~ Josh Stone

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHVSptF3_G8&feature=fvst

I've got a right to be wrong
My mistakes will make me strong
I'm stepping out into the great unknown
I'm feeling wings though I've never flown
I've got a mind of my own
I'm flesh and blood to the bone
I'm not made of stone
Got a right to be wrong
So just leave me alone

I've got a right to be wrong
I've been held down too long
I've got to break free
So I can finally breathe
I've got a right to be wrong
Got to sing my own song
I might be singing out of key
But it sure feels good to me
Got a right to be wrong
So just leave me alone

You're entitled to your opinion
But it's really my decision
I can't turn back I'm on a mission
If you care don't you dare blur my vision
Let me be all that I can be
Don't smother me with negativity
Whatever's out there waiting for me
I'm going to faced it willingly

I've got a right to be wrong
My mistakes will make me strong
I'm stepping out into the great unknown
I'm feeling wings though I've never flown
I've got a mind of my own
Flesh and blood to the bone
See, I'm not made of stone
I've got a right to be wrong
So just leave me alone

I've got a right to be wrong
I've been held down to long
I've got to break free
So I can finally breathe
I've got a right to be wrong
Got to sing my own song
I might be singing out of key
But it sure feels good to me
I've got a right to be wrong
So just leave me alone
 
Mary - Patty Griffin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0QC4apMCK0

Mary you're covered in roses, you're covered in ashes
You're covered in rain
You're covered in babies, you're covered in slashes
You're covered in wilderness, you're covered in stains
You cast aside the sheet, you cast aside the shroud
Of another man, who served the world proud
You greet another son, you lose another one
On some sunny day and always stay, Mary

Jesus says Mother I couldn't stay another day longer
Flys right by me and leaves a kiss upon her face
While the angels are singin' his praises in a blaze of glory
Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place

Mary she moves behind me
She leaves her fingerprints everywhere
Everytime the snow drifts, everytime the sand shifts
Even when the night lifts, she's always there

Jesus said Mother I couldn't stay another day longer
Flys right by me and leaves a kiss upon her face
While the angels are singin' his praises in a blaze of glory
Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place

Mary you're covered in roses, you're covered in ruins
you're covered in secrets
Your'e covered in treetops, you're covered in birds
who can sing a million songs without any words
You cast aside the sheets, you cast aside the shroud
of another man, who served the world proud
You greet another son, you lose another one
on some sunny day and always stay
Mary, Mary, Mary
 
Winter - Joshua Radin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXPY61BeOwI

I should know
Who I am by now
I walk
The record stands somehow
Thinking of winter

Your name is the splinter inside me
While I wait

And I remember the sound
Of your November downtown
And I remember the truth
A warm December with you
But I don't have to make this mistake
And I don't have to stay this way
If only I would wake

The walk has all been cleared by now
Your voice is all I hear somehow
Calling out Winter

Your voice is the splinter inside me
While I wait

I remember the sound
Of your November downtown
And I remember the truth
A warm December with you
But I don't have to make this mistake
And I don't have to stay this way
If only I would wake

I could have lost myself
In rough blue waters in your eyes
And I miss you still

I remember the sound
Of your November downtown
And I remember the truth
A warm December with you
But I don't have to make this mistake
And I don't have to stay this way
If only I would wake
 
Girl From the North Country - The Lions

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9etFeqYPMk

Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm,
When the rivers freeze and summer ends,
Please see if she's wearing a coat so warm,
To keep her from the howlin' winds.

Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
If it rolls and flows all down her breast.
Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
That's the way I remember her best.

I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all.
Many times I've often prayed
In the darkness of my night,
In the brightness of my day.

So if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.
 
The Matador - The White Buffalo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S860jAswc-c


They call him the matador
He settles all the scores
He kills in plain sight
With a blade and a smile
Well he dont know what to think
He aint had enough to drink
Will he take him by surprise
To see the whites of his eyes

Well he'll settle things in the sun
Plays god like the chosen one
Well he's storied from town to town
Kills for sport and pride

The matador raised his blade to the sun
To show the blade, the damage is done
Children cry in their mother's arms
As the people replied with a deafining swarm
The crowd rose as the blood's running warm

They call him the matador
He settles all the scores
He kills in plain sight
With a blade and a smile
 
Holding Out For Love - Ashtar Command

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzzucaXVj8Q

You wish you might have failed
And left it all behind
You've got to take it easy on yourself
You're searching for your strength
And wishing on the stars
You've got to make it easy for yourself

You're breaking apart at the seams
And holding out for the one you had before you lost it all
You're falling apart it seems
And all you want it the one you had before you lost control
You're holding out for love
You're holding out for love
Keep holding out for love

You followed all the strings
That lead to better things
You might be wrong but at least you've got to try
To you get back to strength
To nurse you back to health
You might have lost but at least you know you tried

You're breaking apart at the seams
And holding out for the one you had before you lost it all
You're falling apart it seems
And all you want is the one you had before you lost control
You're holding out for love
You're holding out for love
Keep holding out for love
 
Tonight - Emy Reynolds

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kkirr-fYrqA


She was from Kansas
Worked in a dairy
Eight brothers and sisters
Her mom said she was from France
And her mom said she was from France
But she was from New Mexico
And she was from New Mexico

And tonight, tonight
I will have to say goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Tomorrow, tomorrow
If my heart is full of sorrow
I will call out for you

Lived in a trailer
Painted the skies
She said she had no life there
And she said she had no life there

And tonight, tonight
I will have to say goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
And tomorrow, tomorrow
If my heart is full of sorrow
I will call out for you
Call out for you

And tonight, tonight
I will have to say goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
And tomorrow, tomorrow
If my heart is full of sorrow
I will call out for you
Call out for you

Go ahead and tell that story
I will learn it again and again
Your smile and laugh and words like damn
Are bringing me home

Go ahead and tell that story
I will learn it again and again
Your smile and laugh and words like damn
Are bringing me home

And tonight, tonight
I will have to say goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
And tomorrow, tomorrow
If my heart is full of sorrow
I will call out for you

Tonight, tonight
I will have to say goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Tomorrow, tomorrow
If my heart is full of sorrow
I will call out for you
I will call out for you
 
Hear you Me

There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that.
I thought I might get one more chance.
What would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
So what would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
And if you were with me tonight,
I'd sing to you just one more time.
A song for a heart so big,
god wouldn't let it live.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.

Surrogate Valentine - Goh Nakamura

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nnAwB0FBds

I was the next to wait in line
to be your surrogate valentine
I took a number and it started with 9
and ended in letters I couldn’t define

I’m going away so you can be
and you can think about it
going away so you can breathe
and it brings me to my knees
and I will run away reluctantly
so think about it
I hope you’ll feel the same

I wish that I could change my face
tailor it more to your tastes
I wish that I could face this change

and I know you got alot on your proverbial plate
my lovely mona lisa is there room in your frame?
Like a newspaper boat I’ll be floating in place
to the sea

I’m running in place and you can see
there’s nothing you can do about it
Run out of breath and lose the beat
it brings me to my knees
and I will float away reluctantly
so think about it
hope you feel the same

You can be the magnet
and I’ll be the iron
you’re drawing me closer
like a sailor to the sirens
and I don’t ever want to knock you
off your course
unless I’m knocking you over
to me of course

cuz I was the next to wait in line
to be your surrogate valentine…
 
Rolling in The Deep~ Adele

http://youtu.be/sg36c7DjEmo


There's a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark
Finally, I can see you crystal clear.
Go ahead and sell me out and-a I'll lay your ship bare.
See how I leave, with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do.
There's a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark
The scars of your love, remind me of us.
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling...
We could have had it all... (you're gonna wish you, never had met me)...
Rolling in the Deep (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside... (you're gonna wish you)... of your hand (Never had met me)
And you played it... (Tears are gonna fall)... To the beat (Rolling in the deep)
Baby I have no story to be told,
But I've heard one on you and I'm gonna make your head burn.
Think of me in the depths of your despair.
Making a home down there, as mine sure won't be shared...
(You're gonna wish you)...
The scars of your love... (never had met me)
Remind me of us... (Tears are gonna fall)... They keep me thinking... (rolling in the deep)... that we almost had it all.
(You're gonna wish you)...
The scars of your love... (never had met me)... they leave me breathless... (Tears are gonna fall)
I can't help feeling... (rolling in the deep)... We could have had it all... (you're gonna wish you never had met me)... Rolling in the Deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside... (you're gonna wish you)... of your hand (Never had met me)
And you played it... (Tears are gonna fall)... To the beat... (Rolling in the deep)
Could have had it all
Rolling in the deep.
You had my heart inside of your hand,
But you played it with a beating.
Throw your soul through every open door, (Whoa)
Count your blessings to find what you look for, (Whoa-uh)
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold, (Whoa)
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow.
(You're gonna wish you... Never had met me)
We could have had it all (Tears are gonna fall... Rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all ( you're gonna wish you... never had met me)
It all. (Tears are gonna fall)
It all
It all (Rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all (you're gonna wish you, never had met me)
Rolling in the deep (Tears are gonna fall rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside... (you're gonna wish you)... of your hand (Never had met me)
And you played it... (Tears are gonna fall)... to the beat (Rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all ( you're wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside... ( you're gonna wish you)... of your hand (Never had met me)
But you played it
You played it.
You played it.
You played it to the beat.
 
Mirror In the Bathroom - English Beat

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTNpaaPHENE


Mirror in the bathroom please talk free
The door is locked just you and me
Can I take you to a restaurant that's got glass tables
You can watch yourself while you are eating

Mirror in the bathroom I just can't stop it
Every Saturday you see me window shopping
I find no interest in the racks and shelves
Just ten thousand reflections of my own sweet self, self, self

Mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom

Mirror in the bathroom recompense
For all my crimes of self defense
Cures you whisper make no sense
Drift gently into mental illness

Mirror in the bathroom please talk free
The door is locked just you and me
Can I take you to a restaurant that's got glass tables
You can watch yourself while you are eating

Mirror in the bathroom
Mirror in the bathroom
Mirror in the bathroom
Mirror in the bathroom
Mirror in the bathroom
Mirror in the bathroom
 
Wandering Star - Portishead

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEQNAZGoZrw


Please could you stay awhile to share my grief
For its such a lovely day
To have to always feel this way
And the time that I will suffer less
Is when I never have to wake

Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever

... Those who have seen the needles eye, now tread
Like a husk, from which all that was, now has fled
And the masks, that the monsters wear
To feed, upon their prey

Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever

(always) doubled up inside
Take awhile to shed my grief
(always) doubled up inside
Taunted, cruel.... ...

Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
 
The Cave - Mumford and Sons

http://youtu.be/3KkUeRPjc-Y


It's empty in the valley of your heart
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you've left behind

The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat

But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

Cause I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my broken mind

So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults
And despite my growing fears

But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker's land

So make your siren's call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say

Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be

And I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
 
Ishmael and Maggie - The Trews

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe7JxZgTSJ4


Hello my name is Ishmael
Forget the one about the whale
I'll tell you of a broken-hearted sailor

Maggie took my loyalty,
I treated her like royalty
What starts out with such promise ends in failure

Oh my love I can't stand to be alone
But I been drinkin' too much
I better go home
And I think here I'm better off alone
But I been thinking too much
I better go home

All hail the Queen of cruelty
She has duly been anointed
These final word "her majesty" had to say
"He who expects nothing never will be disappointed"
Nothing's what she left me so I guess i'm OK

Oh my love I can't stand to be alone
But I been drinkin' too much
I better go home
And I think here we all stand alone
But I been thinking too much
I better go home

Lie lie lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie lie

A promise made to a tab unpaid
It's home I wade to my bed unmade
A fool to think that I could ever change her
A king upon my barstool throne
I vow to never drink alone
I only drink with friends and total strangers

We're all broken hearted here
We're all broken hearted here
We're all broken hearted here
We're all broken

Oh my love I can't stand to be alone
But I been drinkin' too much
I better go home
And I think here we all stand alone
But I been thinking too much
I better go home
I better go home
I better go home
I better go home
I better go home
I better go home
 
reason Why - Rachael Yamagata

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P798LLHcQY

I think about how it might have been
We'd spend out days travelin'
It's not that I don't understand you
It's not that I don't want to be with you
But you only wanted me
The way you wanted me

So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
And we can hang out heads down
As we skip the goodbyes
And you can tell the world what you want them to hear
I've got nothing left to lose, my dear
So, I'm up for the little white lies
But you and I know the reason why
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there

I'll buy a magazine searching for your face
From coast to coast, or whatever I find my place
I'll track you on the radios, and
I'll sign your list in a different name
But as close as I come to you
It's not the same

So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back
As say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big
We can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I know the reason why
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there

So, steal the show, and do your best
To cover the tracks that I have left
I wish you well and hope you find
Whatever you're looking for
The way I might've changed my mind,
But you only showed my the door

So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back
And say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big
We can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I, you and I know the reason why
 
Be Be Your Love - Ling Kai

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKz1DwKAQBw&feature=fvwrel


If I could take you away
Pretend I was queen
What would you say
Would you think I'm unreal
'Cause everybody's got their way I should feel

Everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love, for real
Everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love for real
Want to be your everything

Everything...

Everything's falling, and I am included in that
Oh, how I try to be just okay
Yeah, but all I ever really wanted
Was a little piece of you

And everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love, for real
Everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love for real

Everything will be alright
If you just stay the night
Please, sir, don't you walk away, don't you walk away, don't you walk away
Please, sir, don't you walk away, don't you walk away, don't you walk away

And everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love, for real
Everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love for real

And everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love, for real
Everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love for real

I want to be your love, love, love
 
Sometimes It's A Bitch~ Stevie Nicks

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUxsVPDPla4&feature=share

Well I've run through rainbows and castles of candy
I cried a river of tears from the pain
I try to dance with what life has to hand me
My partner's been pleasure...my partner's been pain


There are days when I swear I could fly like an eagle
And dark desperate hours that nobody sees
My arms stretched triumphant on top of the mountain
My head in my hands...down on my knees


Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind...and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses...and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze


I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure
I've laid down with love and I woke up with lies
What's it all worth only the heart can measure
It's not what's in the mirror...but what's left inside


Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind...and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses...and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze


You gotta take it as it comes
Sometimes it don't come easy


I've run through rainbows and castles of candy
And I've cried a river of tears from the pain
I tried to dance with what life had to hand me
And if I could...I'd do it all over again


Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind...and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses...and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes the picture just ain't what it seems
You get what you want...but it's not what you need
Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes...it's a breeze
Well it's a breeze...it's a breeze...it's a breeze...
 
We Are Okay - Joshua Radin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2FNQmSLBtc

We are grown but cannot see
Lost our world of make believe
Simple times now seem so far
Used to be in my backyard
yeah, the world was still in my backyard

But, we are okay, we are alright
we sing very loud,
yeah, we're singing
we are okay, we are alright
close our eyes, close our mouth
yeah, we shut our eyes though we're in doubt

Build me a home from a cardboard box
Many windows never locked
This is how we used to play
Shorter nights and longer days
With faith we would not fade away

But we are okay, we are alright

We sing very loud
yeah, we're singing
We are okay, we are alright
Close our eyes, close our mouth
Yeah we shut our eyes though we're in doubt

And so it goes
We can never seem to find the time we lost
Though we try at any cost
We try, we sing

We are okay, we are alright
We sing very loud
Yeah, we're singing
We are okay, we are alright
Close our eyes, close our mouth
yeah we shut our eyes though we're in doubt
 
Let It Ride - Greg Laswell

Show no sign of wasting time
None of this is mine
And the bottle downs
An empty well
Everything is put to rest this night

And the wind blows right inside the open window of my mind, my mind
Let it ride
Let it ride

I stand at arms no better than the losing take it in my hand
I stack them high for you and i and watch them float into the sky
And the wind blows right inside the open window of my mind
So I...
Let it ride
Let it ride
Let it ride
Let it ride
 
Rising of the Moon- John Keegan Casey

"Oh! then tell me, Shawn O'Ferrall, Tell me why you hurry so?"
"Hush ma bouchal, hush and listen", And his cheeks were all a-glow.
"I bear ordhers from the captain, Get you ready quick and soon,
For the pikes must be together At the risin' of the moon".
At the risin' of the moon, at the risin' of the moon,
For the pikes must be together at the risin' of the moon.

"Oh! then tell me, Shawn O'Ferrall, Where the gatherin' is to be?"
"In the ould spot by the river, Right well known to you and me.
One word more—for signal token Whistle up the marchin' tune,
With your pike upon your shoulder, By the risin' of the moon".
By the risin' of the moon, by the risin' of the moon,
With your pike upon your shoulder, by the risin' of the moon.

Out from many a mudwall cabin Eyes were watching thro' that night,
Many a manly chest was throbbing For the blessed warning light.
Murmurs passed along the valleys Like the banshee's lonely croon,
And a thousand blades were flashing At the risin' of the moon.
At the risin' of the moon, at the risin' of the moon,
And a thousand blades were flashing at the risin' of the moon.

There beside the singing river That dark mass of men was seen,
Far above the shining weapons Hung their own beloved green.
"Death to ev'ry foe and traitor! Forward! strike the marchin' tune,
And hurrah, my boys, for freedom! 'T is the risin' of the moon".
'T is the risin' of the moon, 't is the risin' of the moon,
And hurrah my boys for freedom! 't is the risin' of the moon.

Well they fought for poor old Ireland, And full bitter was their fate
(Oh! what glorious pride and sorrow Fill the name of Ninety-Eight).
Yet, thank God, e'en still are beating Hearts in manhood's burning noon,
Who would follow in their footsteps, At the risin' of the moon!
At the rising of the moon, at the risin' of the moon,
Who would follow in their footsteps, at the risin' of the moon.
