Belfast Child is the first single from the Street Fighting Years album released in 1989. http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belfast_... When my love said to me Meet me down by the gallow tree For its sad news I bring About this old town and all that its offering Some say troubles abound Some day soon theyre gonna pull the old town down One day well 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 Ive spent With my faith in God the Church and the Government But theres sadness abound Some day soon theyre gonna pull the old town down One day well return here, When the Belfast Child sings again When the Belfast Child sings again Some come back Billy, wont you come on home Come back Mary, youve been away so long The streets are empty, and your mothers gone The girls are crying, its been oh so long And your fathers calling, come on home Wont you come on home, wont you come on home Come back people, youve been gone a while And the war is raging, in the Emerald Isle Thats flesh and blood man, thats flesh and blood All the girls are crying but alls not lost The streets are empty, the streets are cold Wont you come on home, wont you come on home The streets are empty Life goes on One day well return here When the Belfast Child sings again When the Belfast Child sings again
