*** Upstarts and Broken Hearts ***
I once met a young girl filled with fire, That saw through my front to
this
shell of a man
She knew I'd be a handful from the start, This strong willed woman had
an
angel's heart
The holes in these wings don't allow me to fly
So you'd better brace for a life of pain, And if fate is the path to this
better
life
Somehow I feel you'll never see the faces change
Chorus:
Through thick and thin, She stood by you
She held the key to my broken heart
I look back and wonder, Sit and ponder. How I could have ever neglected
you.
For the blood soaked soil on the old ball field, I gambled on a hand I
wasn't
ready to lose
But if the tables were turned and I faced the troubles, Tough times and
strugles
I put you through
I'd of been there as you were through hardship and horror
My life and my love are pledged to you.
(Chorus)
Remember the nights she waited and wondered, fused to a myth that it
had taken
its toll.
But this Godless man has mended his way, Never again will she be alone.
I remember it well, Still I always knew that she was destined to be my
bride
This woman had pride, She was full of life. I could see the passion in
her eyes.
She thought she found a man, But she fell for the devil
An evil monster in disguise. Now I'll honor and obey, Forever stay.
True to you, my Irish rose
(Chorus)
