Testo Belfast Child - Simple Minds
Testo della canzone Belfast Child (Simple Minds), tratta dall'album Street Fighting Years (Super Deluxe)
When my love said to me
"Meet me down by the gallow tree
For it's sad news I bring
About this old town and all that it's offering"
Some say troubles abound
Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down
One day we'll return here
When the Belfast child sings again
Brothers, sisters, where are you now
As I look for you right through the crowd?
All my life here I've spent
With my faith in God, the Church, and the Government
Some say troubles abound
Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down
One day we'll return here
When the Belfast child sings again
When the Belfast child sings again
So come back, Billy, won't you come on home?
Come back, Mary, you've been away so long
The streets are empty, and your mother's gone
The girls are crying, it's been, oh, so long
Oh, come back, people, you've been gone a while
And the war is raging through the Emerald Isle
That's flesh and blood, man, that's flesh and blood
All the girls are crying, but all's not lost
Well, the streets are empty, the streets are cold
Won't you come on home, won't you come on home?
The streets are empty
Life goes on
One day we'll return here
When the Belfast child sings again
