    The song describes scenes from Easter morning on a farm in Ireland. Verse 1 depicts a misty field with green grass and grey outlines of trees and hedges. Verse 2 mentions a tattered necklace of trees on a hill that marks where a border runs and where a boy named Mary Dunoon fell. The chorus reflects on Easter as a time for the blind to see and for hearts to be free. Verse 3 describes a ship bound for northern Ireland passing through the port of Liverpool with the spray and waves visible.

    Verse 1
    G D Em C
    A ghost of a mist was on the field
    G D Em C
    the grey and the green together
    G D Em C
    The noise of a distant farm machine
    G D Em C
    out of the first light came

    Verse 2
    G D Em C
    A tattered necklace of hedge and trees
    G D Em C
    on the southern side of the hill
    G D Em C
    Betrays where the border runs between
    G D Em C
    where Mary Dunoon's boy fell

    Chorus
    D C Am Em
    Easter, here again,
    D/F# Em/C C/G G
    a time for the blind to see
    D C Am Em

    D/F# C Em/D D C/D D Em/D D C/D D
    can all of your hearts be free

    Verse 3
    G D Em C
    Out of the port of Liverpool
    G D Em C
    bound for the north of Ireland

    the roll of the sea below
