[ti:Only Our Rivers Run Free] [ar:Christy Moore] [al:The Time Has Come] [offset:0] [00:02.58]When apples still grow in November [00:09.51]When Blossoms still bloom from each tree [00:16.00]When leaves are still green in December [00:21.05] [00:23.37]It's then that our land will be free [00:27.67] [00:30.10]I wander her hills and her valleys [00:36.65] [00:37.27]And still through my sorrow I see [00:41.52] [00:43.77]A land that has never known freedom [00:48.82] [00:51.31]Only her rivers run free [00:55.50] [00:58.00]I drink to the death of her manhood [01:02.62] [01:04.86]Those men who'd rather have died [01:09.19] [01:11.69]Than to live in the cold chains of bondage [01:17.05] [01:18.93]To bring back their rights were denied [01:23.36] [01:26.16]Oh where are you now when we need you [01:31.22] [01:32.97]What burns where the flame used to be [01:38.65] [01:39.83]Are you gone like the snows of last winter [01:45.70] [01:47.26]And will only our rivers run free [01:51.68] [01:54.31]How sweet is life but we're crying [02:00.49]How mellow the wine but it's dry [02:08.35]How fragrant the rose but it's dying [02:13.28] [02:15.52]How gentle the breeze but it sighs [02:20.15] [02:22.45]What good is in youth when it's aging [02:27.25] [02:29.50]What joy is in eyes that can't see [02:34.49] [02:36.31]When there's sorrow in sunshine and flowers [02:43.99]And only our rivers run free
