A Day Beyond Belclare Lyrics - Original Broadway Cast

GRACE 

The man who gave me life 

Is but and inch from death 

With my heart torn in two 

I go on my way 

To hear the wisdom spoke 

Upon his final breath 

O'FLAHERTY WOMEN 

All that you've seen us through 

We now can repay 

Off from Rockfleet with you 

We go to Clew Bay 

O'FLAHERTY CLAN 

A day beyond Belclare 

Your father waits for you 

Clan O'Flaherty goes 

With you to Clew Bay 

As one we leave this day 

To see our savior through 

Joined as comrades and friends 

We'll bond on our way 

Marching through the Twelve Bens 

And on to Clew Bay 

GRACE 

My father lies near death 

You're by my side, is that a sign? 

DONAL 

This marriage joined two clans 

Your father dies, his crown is mine 

TIERNAN 

Stand back and hold your tongue 

Do you not see your wife's in pain? 

DONAL 

I only say what's true 

TIERNAN 

You think of her now 

And not what you gain 

Whatever you do 

Remember that I'm 

Watching you! 

O'FLAHERTY CLAN 

A day beyond Belclare 

Your father waits for you 

Clan O'Flaherty goes 

With you to Clew Bay 

As one we leave this day 

To see our savior through 

Joined as comrades and friends 

We'll bond on our way 

Marching through the Twelve Bens 

And on to Clew Bay 

A day beyond Belclare 

Your father waits for you 

Marching through the Twelve Bens 

We go to Clew Bay... 

Joined as comrades and friends 

We bond on our way... 

Marching through the Twelve Bens 

And on to Clew Bay
