Love's Last Chance
Jimmy MacCarthy
Out from the harbour tonight
I will sail far away from my lover forever
Under the stars in the sky
With a well in my eye for our days in the heather
Long days lost in love’s charm
Lord to die in her arms now I know I will never
Chorus
Wake to the singing
Sweet morning glory
Colours abound eiderdown
Never to hear that, I love you only
When given her last chance
She’s given love’s last chance away
From the emerald shallows I go
For my sticks and mint coins have had their last throw
To make of love great rivalry
No great blessing can be no blessing whatever
I pray to the heavens on high
Blessed hands let her see, now I know I will never
Chorus
