Lyrics
March winds were blowing when we met
A moment in time I wonโt forget
Rain drops were falling at your feet
Reflecting your beauty on the street
Grafton Street was empty of all charm
You reached out and took me by the arm
Iโve never felt as good as I felt then
I knew Iโd never be the same again
Down where the old churchyard lies
Under the grey midland skies
Tumbled down and broken
Whoโd say itโs not right
Our ancestors might
But Iโll always love the planterโs daughter
Strongbowโs blood ran in your veins
Of myself, I couldnโt say the same
But somehow it seemed to be ok
And it didnโt really matter anyway
Were I to live a thousand years
Or hear the angels whisper in my ears
And sit and watch the sunlight fade away
I never will forget that one spring day
Down where the old churchyard lies
Under the grey midland skies
Tumbled down and broken
Whoโd say itโs not right
Our ancestors might
But Iโll always love the planterโs daughter
