This Love Is Real
Raised on songs and stories, heroes of renown
The passing tales and glories that once was Dublin Town
The hallowed halls and houses, the haunting childrens rhymes
That once was part of Dublin in the rare ould times
Ring a ring a rosey, as the light declines
I remember Dublin City in the rare ould times
My name it is Sean Dempsey, as Dublin as can be
Born hard and late in Pimlico, in a house that ceased to be
By trade I was a cooper, lost out to redundancy
Like my house that fell to progress, my trade's a memory
And I courted Peggy Dignam, as
The passing tales and glories that once was Dublin Town
The hallowed halls and houses, the haunting childrens rhymes
That once was part of Dublin in the rare ould times
Ring a ring a rosey, as the light declines
I remember Dublin City in the rare ould times
My name it is Sean Dempsey, as Dublin as can be
Born hard and late in Pimlico, in a house that ceased to be
By trade I was a cooper, lost out to redundancy
Like my house that fell to progress, my trade's a memory
And I courted Peggy Dignam, as
Endlessly
Oh I was walking
Down through gardens wet with rain
Someone changing
Changing everything
Then I was wondering
Who I was before we woke
As the dawn was folding
Folding over me
When enter the angel
Enter the angel
Enter the angel
Through some summer door
Then I was standing
By a bay of burning blue
I saw the lightning
Shining through the sea
Then I was bathing
In the beauty of a face
And there was silence
Mist and glimmering
When enter the angel
Enter the angel
Enter the angel
Through some summer door
Then I was walking out
Across the autumn days
You were turning, I said
'What's your name?'
When enter the angel
Enter the angel
Enter the angel
Through some summer door
