Karaoke Track: Belfast Child by Simple Minds (Sunfly)

Introduction

When my love said to me
meet me down
by the gallow tree

For it&#39;s sad news I bring
about this old town and
all that it&#39;s suffering

Some say troubles abound

Someday soon they&#39;re gonna
pull the old town down

One day we&#39;ll return here
when the Belfast child
sings again

Brothers, sisters,
where are you now?

As I look for you
right tlu&#39;ough the crowd

All my life here I&#39;ve spent

With my faith in God
and church and the government

Some say troubles abound

Someday soon they&#39;re gonna
pull the old town down

One day we&#39;ll return here

When the Belfast
child sings again

So come back Billy,
won&#39;t you come on home

Come Milly, you&#39;ve been
away so long

The streets are empty
and yom&#39; mama&#39;s gone

The girls are crying,
it&#39;s been 011 so long

And your father&#39;s calling
come on home

Won&#39;t you come on home,
come on home

Oh, come back people,
you&#39;ve been gone a while

And the war is raging
through the Emerald Isle

There&#39;s flesh and blood there,
there&#39;s flesh and blood

All the girls are crying,
but all&#39;s not lost

Well the streets are empty,
life goes on

Won&#39;t you come on home,
come on home

The streets are empty,
life goes on

One day we&#39;ll return here

When the Belfast child
sings again
