Karaoké Belfast Child 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

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

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?

Come on home?

Come on home?

Ah come on people

You've been gone a while

And the war is raging through the Emerald Isle

That's flesh and blood, yeah that's flesh and blood

All the girls are crying but all's not lost

The streets are empty 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
