Gulf Of Araby
(Written by Katell Keineg)
Intro: D A G -
D A G -
If you could Dfill a veil with Ashells from Killiney'sG shore
and Dsweet talk in a Atongue that is no Gmore
If Awishful thought could Gbridge
The AGulf Of Araby
BeGtween what Dis, what Ais, what Gis
And Gwhat can never be
D A G -
D A G -
If you could Dhold the frozen flow Aof New Hope GCreek
And Dhide out from the oAne they said you might meGet
If you could Aunlearn all the wGords
That you Anever wanted heGard
If you could sAtall the southern wGind
That's wAhistling in your ear
You could taGke what iDs, what iAs, what Gis
To what canG never be

DOne man of svAenty whispers Gfree at last
Two neighbors who are proud of their massacres
Three tyrants torn away in a winter's month
Four prisoners framed by a dirty judge
DFive burned with tyres
ASix men still alive
And sGeven more days to shake at the great divide
The DGulf
The AGulf
of AraGby
The DGulf
The AGulf
of AraGby
We would plough and part the earth to bring you home
We would harvest every miracle ever known
If they laid out all the things
That these ten years want to bring
We would gladly give them up
To bring you back to us
O, there is nothing wewould not give
To kiss you and believe we can take what is, what is, what is
To what can never be
One man of seventy whispers not free yet
Two neighbors who make up knee-deep in their dead
Three tyrants torn away in the summer's heat
Four prisoners lost in the fallacy
Five, on my life
Six, I'm dead inside
And seven more days to shake at the great divide
The Gulf Of Araby
