My great X 4 grandmother, who lived at Castle Hyde in County Cork, Ireland, abandoned her comfortable life to elope with her gardener in the middle of the night. This is a true love story and the story of how my family came to Canada.

Lady Charlotte it’s time to go
Leave behind the only life you know
It’s warmer in the garden below
Sometimes this castle can get so cold
On a dark and moonless night
You said goodbye

For love
You did it all for love
All for love
You did it all for love

You’d cross oceans, live in distant lands
With just one life you’ve got to do all that you can
They said he was a simple man
Simple was the reason why you ran
If it’s hard you never say
You know it was the only way

CHORUS

And when your children cry to see
The land of Irish mystery
You take their hands and whisper gently

CHORUS X 3
You did it all for love
