Veronica Songtext
von Christy Moore

In the broad daylight of a summer′s day
On the Cork to Dublin motorway
Suddenly the singing birds were startled in their song
In the silence of that moment her world went out of kilter
In that split second Veronica was gone


You, you'll never silence her
Your story will be written down
Her spirit won′t rest easy until her job is done
Doll of fists and boots, you broke her bones
You gunned her down at home
But as soon as she was able she faced you up again
Veronica, Veronica, Veronica
Warrior woman
Veronica, Veronica
I offer you this song

And you who made the phone call
And you who took the message down
And you who hired the hit men
And you who hatched the plan
And you who drew the money down
And you who paid it over
And you who remain silent
You are guilty every one

Veronica, Veronica, Veronica
Warrior woman
Veronica, Veronica
I offer you this song


In the broad daylight of a summer's day
On the Cork to Dublin motorway
Suddenly the singing birds were startled in their song
