Blood of Emeralds

<br>(Gary Moore/Neil Carter) <br>I was born up on the North side, <br>where the Lagan River flows. <br>When I came across the border, <br>I was following my nose. <br>Dublin city `69, <br>there could have been no better place, <br>there was no better time. <br>Through the thunder and the rain, <br>the deepest blood of emeralds <br>was running through my veins. <br><br>Blood of emeralds. <br><br>I was down and out on Skid Row, <br>but I held on to my pride. <br>The darkest son of Ireland, <br>he was standin` by my side. <br>We would sail the stormy seas. <br>Never looking back, <br>we were afraid of what we`d see. <br>Through the thunder and the rain, <br>the deepest blood of emeralds <br>was running through our veins. <br><br>Some of us will win and some of us will lose, <br>the strong will survive. <br>Some of us will fall, <br>some of us won`t get out of here alive. <br><br>Blood of emeralds. <br>Blood of emeralds. <br><br>I was angry, I was sad, <br>just thinking about the times we had. <br>I felt so lost and lonely too, <br>what could I say, what could I do? <br>And after all, the time goes by. <br>No one knows the reasons why. <br>You lived each day like there was no tomorrow. <br>You spent those years living on time you borrowed. <br>And in your eyes, all I could see was sorrow. <br><br>Some of us will win, some of us will lose, <br>the strong will survive. <br>Some of us will fall, <br>some of us won`t get out of here alive. <br><br>Blood of emeralds. <br>Blood of emeralds. <br>Blood of emeralds. <br><br>(Blood of emeralds.) <br>The deepest blood of emeralds. <br>Blood of emeralds. <br><br>The deepest blood of emeralds. <br>The deepest, deepest blood of emeralds.
