Shibboleth by Eleanor McEvoy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your beauty in the spotlight
It was something to behold
A final hope of something good
A pool of solid gold

[Chorus]
Mo ghrá, mo chroí, mo chúisle
How hard it is to see
A mhuirnín, they have brought you to your knees

[Verse 2]
You Riverdanced around the world
A shining shibboleth
You dared to take the breath away
Of everyone you met

[Chorus]
Mo ghrá, mo chroí, mo chúisle
How hard it is to see
A mhuirnín, they have brought you to your knees
[Verse 3]
The rains that you're so famous for
I've only realised
Are just the tears you fail to keep
Cascading from your eyes

[Chorus]
Mo ghrá, mo chroí, mo chúisle
How hard it is to see
A mhuirnín, they have brought you to your knees

[Chorus]
Mo ghrá, mo chroí, mo chúisle
How hard it is to see
Oh, a mhuirnín, they have brought you to your knees
