There Were Roses(COVER版) - 霓霓

[00:07.19]My song for you this evening
[00:10.64]Is not to make you sad
[00:13.77]Nor for adding to the sorrows
[00:16.89]Of this troubled northern land
[00:20.62]But lately I've been thinking
[00:23.55]And it just won't leave my mind
[00:27.08]I'll tell you about two friends one time
[00:30.24]Who were both good friends of mine
[00:33.75]Isaac he was Protestant
[00:36.93]And Sean was Catholic born
[00:40.0]But it never made a difference
[00:43.15]For the friendship it was strong
[00:46.84]And sometimes in the evening
[00:49.86]When they heard the sound of drums
[00:53.36]They said they won't divide us
[00:56.3]We will always be as one
[01:01.18]There were roses roses
[01:07.88]There were roses
[01:12.91]And the tears of a people ran together
[01:32.740005]It was on a Sunday morning
[01:35.82]When the awful news came round
[01:39.41]Another killing had been done
[01:42.67]Just outside Newry Town
[01:46.03]We knew that Isaac danced up there
[01:49.28]We knew he liked the band
[01:52.520004]But when we heard that he was dead
[01:55.66]We just could not understand
[01:59.16]Now fear it filled the countryside
[02:02.25]There was fear in every home
[02:05.66]When late at night a car came
[02:08.56]Prowling round the Ryan Road
[02:12.34]A Catholic would be killed tonight
[02:15.49]To even up the score
[02:18.76]Oh Christ it's young MacDonald
[02:21.78]They have taken from the door
[02:25.08]There were roses roses
[02:31.64]There were roses
[02:36.75]And the tears of a people ran together
[02:56.87]Isaac was my friend he cried
[02:59.98]He begged them with his tears
[03:03.25]But centuries of hatred
[03:06.18]Have ears that do not hear
[03:09.78]An eye for an eye
[03:12.79]That was all that filled their minds
[03:16.19]And another eye for another eye
[03:19.61]Till everyone was blind
[03:23.06]Now I don't know where the moral is
[03:26.25]Or where the song should end
[03:29.43]But I wonder just how many wars
[03:32.86]Are fought between good friends
[03:36.16]And those who give the orders
[03:39.19]Are not the ones to die
[03:42.72]It's Scott and young MacDonald
[03:45.59]And the likes of you and I
[03:50.54001]There were roses roses
[03:57.14]There were roses
[04:02.25]And the tears of a people ran together
[04:08.62]There were roses roses roses
[04:20.32]And the tears of a people ran together
