about

Emerald was voted #56 on SiriusXM's listener's poll of Top 100 Celtic Songs

lyrics

He was pulled from their home by the March thunderstorm
And was dropped in the sand of a far away land
She’d try not to cry when she’d feel that he’d died
And she prayed that he’d be home someday
So she’d wipe back her tears to not let the years
Dim the light of her emerald eyes

She fell to the floor when they came to her door
they had not his bones, she was still alone
What was unbeknown was in the other tribe's zone
He was kept alive by her thoughts and the sight
Of her face that he’d see when he’d manage to dream
of the light of her emerald eyes.
And the face that he’d see of his darlin’ Marie
And the light of her emerald eyes.

Well a year had gone by and Marie’s friends they’d try
To convince her to put his memory aside
But she couldn’t let go til she’d buried his bones
And until they came home she’d hold out her hope
So he’d stay in her prayers and not let despair
Dim the light of her emerald eyes

On a cold autumn day the boy broke away
And was picked up along a road that they’d won
As he neared their home she felt a strange warmth
And she looked up and saw that her boy had come home
She held on to him til they shivered no more
‘neath the stars of the October skies
And the war it raged on, but he’d found his way home
By the light of her emerald eyes.
