Simple Minds - Belfast Child
текст песни

When my love said to me meet me down by the gallowtree
for it's sad news I bring about this old town
and all that it's suffering

Some say troubles are abound someday soon they're gonna pull
the old town down

One day we'll return here where the Belfast child sings again

Brothers sisters where are you now as I look for you right through the crowd
all my here I've spent with my faith and god and church and government

Some say troubles are abound someday soon they're gonna pull
the old town down

One day we'll return here
wenn the Belfast child sings again
wenn the Belfast child sings again

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

And your faher's calling come on home
won't you come on home come on home

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

Oh 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
wenn the Belfast child sings again
wenn the Belfast child sings again
