Meet Me at the Pillar versuri

Meet Me at the Pillar lyrics by Derek Warfield, the Young Wolfe Tones

Verse 1
I was walking down by Island Bridge, just going as I please
That April day the sun was warm, there was but a gentle breeze
I wandered up the old stone steps into the Phoenix Park
I watched the children run and play, in the hours before the dark

Verse 2
I strolled up by the monument, I lay there on the ground
Then people started crying when they heard the battle sound
And I don’t know what came over me for a moment I could hеar
The pleading of a soldier’s voicе kept calling in my ear

Chorus
Meet me at the Pillar son, please meet me there at noon
I need you brave young Irishmen, there is something we must do
Meet me at the Pillar son, it still is not too late
It’s time to sing a freedom song, come soon I cannot wait

Verse 3
I turned around to see this man but nobody was there
In the distance I could here the drums, yet a stillness filled the air
I closed my eyes and in this dream a soldier I could see
He said his name was Padraig Pearse and he just kept on calling me

Verse 4
That awful night I lay awake and many times I cried
I couldn’t answer his command no matter how I tried
There in the dark I did my best to say a silent prayer
That when they take him to his fate, he’ll know how much I care

Chorus
Meet me at the Pillar son, please meet me there at noon
I need you brave young Irishmen, there is something we must do
Meet me at the Pillar son, it still is not too late
It’s time to sing a freedom song, come soon I cannot wait
