Stephen (Live at Empire Music Hall, Belfast, 2019)

歌詞

Stephen, the flag’s at half-mast at the station There’s a cloud hanging over this town The wind blows apologies; the sun looks ashamed As it hides out behind Portadown And out there are children still raised on old anger Who believe there’s a reason to fight A piece of land’s only a piece of land And you will not come home tonight Stephen, the uniformed visitors came, Unexpectedly, late yesterday I opened the door to a man and a woman And I knew what they’d come here to say Oh, I’ve never seen any darkness so deep As the moment when I clicked off the light And a piece of land’s only a piece of land But you will not come home tonight Stephen, the news has been filled with your picture It seems the whole world knows your name And would you believe there was Martin McGuinness Out condemning these bastards to blame? Oh, I’ve never seen so much orange and green Come together on a thin strip of white Still, a piece of land’s only a piece of land And you will not come home tonight Yes, a piece of land’s only a piece of land And you will not come home tonight...
