Lyrics Shibboleth - Eleanor McEvoy

Shibboleth

Your beauty in the spotlight
It was something to behold
A final hope of something good
A pool of solid gold
Mo ghrá, mo chroí, mo chúisle
How hard it is to see
A mhuirnín, they have brought you to your knees
You Riverdanced around the world
A shining shibboleth
You dared to take the breath away
Of everyone you met
Mo ghrá, mo chroí, mo chúisle
How hard it is to see
A mhuirnín, they have brought you to your knees
The rains that you’re so famous for
I’ve only realised
Are just the tears you fail to keep
Cascading from your eyes
Mo ghrá, mo chroí, mo chúisle
How hard it is to see
A mhuirnín, they have brought you to your knees
Mo ghrá, mo chroí, mo chúisle
How hard it is to see
A mhuirnín, they have brought you to your knees
