Waiting For The Garda Lyrics - Clifford T Ward

A face that haunts me smilin' down 

A broken doll with eyes so wild 

O'Connell Bridge you're fallin' down 

And hangin' on a ragged child 

Amid the to and fro 

Watchin' as we come an' go 

Footsteps an the motor cars 

Shyin' from her beggin' jar 

Cryin' in the night 

Where love will fall 

Dyin' as she might 

An' we all laugh 

Knowin' it's a con 

Waitin' for the garda 

To come. 

Her face still haunts me shinin' down 

A meadow flower growin' wild 

O'Connell Bridge you're fallin' down 

And on your ledge a frightened child 

Amid the heat an' dust of rush around 

The feet an' wheels that spin 

Shyin' from her beggin' tin 

Cryin' in the night 

Where love will fall 

Dyin' out of sight 

An' we all laugh 

Knowin' it's a con 

Waitin' for the garda 

To come. 

Amid the heat an' dust of rush around 

The feet an' wheels that spin 

Shyin' from her beggin' tin 

Cryin' in the night 

Where love will fall 

Dyin' out of sight 

An' we all laugh 

Knowin' it's a con 

Waitin' for the garda 

To come.
