The Shadow in Derry

[Verse]
Left Derry's shores for coal and stone
Promisin' you
I'd send for home
The mines were dark
And time was slow
But dreams of you kept my heart aglow
[Verse 2]
Letters faded in the sun
Hope we’d reunite once my work was done
Labored hands and weary eyes
Still saw your face 'neath the endless skies
[Chorus]
Oh
Shadows in Derry
Remember my pain
I called her name through wind and rain
To find she's gone like morning dew
In the storm of fate
I lost you
[Verse 3]
Returned with pockets lined in dust
Beneath the weeping willows' trust
Neighbors spoke in hushed lament
Said she lay where death had sent
[Verse 4]
The church bells tolled
A haunting sound
By the old oak tree
She's in the ground
Kissed the earth where you now repose
Loneliness
My heart exposed
[Chorus]
Oh
Shadows in Derry
Remember my pain
I called her name through wind and rain
To find she's gone like morning dew
In the storm of fate
I lost you
