Lyrics
Fourteen Candles
by: Ronald Humphrey and B K Williamson © 8/17/2015
Rough at the edges
We sit on the ledges
and fall beneath the wheels of life
Bearing the crosses
for all of our loses
Fresh from the fortunes of our fight
Old jaded lovers
who left us for others
but opened up our hearts an' our eyes
They made it's so clear
We've known it for years
yet lived like a guest in our own life
Chorus:
Down on the bottom, Left and forgotten
Like Daire's own fate, Ferryquay to Butchers Gate
Macdonnell an' King James, will starve us all the same
Though Troubles all but gone, Fourteen candles burnin' on
Crossbows and long swords
Remnants of War Lords
make way for a pipe-bomb in a church
Our children have died here
Too many mothers cry here
Our hearts and our souls we need to search
Chorus: =======
