Testo Belfast Child - Edit - Simple Minds
Testo della canzone Belfast Child - Edit (Simple Minds), tratta dall'album Celebrate Greatest Hits
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
Someday 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 and church and the government
Some say troubles abound
Someday 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
The pain'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
Oh the girls are crying
But all's not lost
Oh the streets are empty
The streets are cold
Oh 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
