And I cursed the hope of moving
A stone that would not heal <-- missing line
I left you all behind me
The speaker lived in war-torn Ireland years ago, but moved to America to get away from the place she hated. When she finally left though, she found she missed it and the anger was gone. Eventually she heard about her brother's death in the newspaper and decides to go back to Ireland because it might be wracked with a horrible war but that's the land she loves and that's where her family is.
Its a really beautiful song about loving your birthday and nation even if there's some bad things happening there.
