Belfast child

by Simple Minds

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.
But there´s sadness 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.
And your father´s calling, come on home.
Won´t you come on home, won´t you 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,
All the girls are crying but all´s not lost.

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,
When the Belfast Child sings again.
