Forever on my Mind

 

O'Hara, Hughes, McCreesh and Sands,

Doherty and Lynch

McDonnell, Hurson, McIlwee, Devine

Darkened years of winter have passed

Summer waits for spring before it lives

Blanket clad and wasted the winter has been long

No gleam of hope a thoughtless nation gives

In silence we walked through the streets

As one by one our hungerstrikers died.

O'Hara, Hughes, McCreesh and Sands,

Doherty and Lynch

McDonnell, Hurson, McIlwee, Devine

Their memory is forever in my mind

Pictures of their faces in my eyes

My sorrow and grief will not subside

And my love for them I will not diguise

In silence we walked through the streets

As one by one our hungerstrikers died.

 

O'Hara, Hughes, McCreesh and Sands,

Doherty and Lynch

McDonnell, Hurson, McIlwee, Devine
