Keith Eastwood - My Dear Sarah

They say it's time to go now the boat is leaving
It's sailing off to Paris but I am staying
I've got to see her one last time before we get away

I'm heading up to Harold's Cross that's where I'll meet her
Even if it kills me I wrote it in the letter
That ''I would rather die just to see your face''

My dear Sarah I couldn't leave without this
To have your hand and to share with you one last kiss
I did it all for you I buried my soul
Although it was a risk to take
I had to speak for my sisters and my brothers
And to fight for your fathers and your mothers
And I would do it all over again
Although it was a risk to take
It was a risk to take

The dawn is nearly breaking troops are on the bridge there
Just take the back roads Sarah and please take care
And if they ask you why you just tell them a lie

And if by chance they see me if I fall into their view
Don't let them know that I am here to see you
Sarah don't think twice you just pass me by

My dear Sarah I couldn't leave without this
To have your hand and to share with you one last kiss
I did it all for you I buried my soul
Although it was a risk to take
I had to speak for my sisters and my brothers
And to fight for your fathers and your mothers
And I would do it all over again
Although it was a risk to take
It was a risk to take

This was meant to be the last time that I got to see you
They caught me on the bridge now there's nothing I can do
Please don't you cry Sarah
For I must die Sarah

I love you more than life itself than land and water
I love you more than these fair isles that I have fought for
Please don't you cry Sarah
For I must die Sarah

My dear Sarah I couldn't leave without this
To have your heart and to share with you one last kiss
I did it all for you I buried my soul
Although it was a risk to take
I had to speak for my sisters and my brothers
And to fight for your fathers and your mothers
And I would do it all over again
Although it was a risk to take
It was a risk to take
And if by chance I see you in a new life
I know it's cliche but I will make you my wife
In this land that's proud and free
Just you and me just you and me
My dear Sarah I couldn't leave without this
To have your hand and to share with you one last kiss
And I would do it all over again
Although it was a risk to take
It was a risk to take
