Belfast Child

In the style of

Simple Minds

Lyrics

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 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 and

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

some 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 father's calling
calling come on home

won't you come on home?
come on home

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

and all the girls crying
but all's not lost

well the streets are empty
and life goes on

won't you come on home?
come on home

the streets are empty

life goes on

one day we'll return here
when the belfast child

sings again
