"Belfast To Boston"
James Taylor
JUDI : There are rifles buried in the countryside
by the rising of the moon
KARINE : May they lie there long forgotten
JUDI : 'Till they rust away into the ground
SARAH : Who will bend this ancient hatred,
Will the killing to an end?
JUDI : Who will swallow long injustice, KARINE : Take the devil for a country man?
(toutes)
Who will say "this far no further, oh oh, if I die today?"
SARAH : Send no weapons, no more money
Send no vengeance across the seas
KARINE : Just the blessing of forgiveness
For my new countryman and me
(toutes) Missing brothers, martyred fellows
Silent children in the ground
JUDI : Could we but hear them, could they not tell us
"Time to lay God's rifle down."
(toutes) Who will say, "this far, no further," oh, if I die today?
(toutes) Could we but hear them, could they not tell us
"Time to lay God's rifle down."
