The Voice 03:16
I hear your voice on the wind And I hear you call out my name Listen my child you say to me I am the voice of your history Be not afraid, come follow me Answer my call and I'll set you free I am the voice in the wind and the pouring rain I am the voice of your hunger and pain I am the voice that always is calling you I am the voice, I will remain I am the voice in the fields when the summer's gone The dance of the leaves when the autumn winds blow Ne'er do I sleep throughout all the cold winter long I am the force that in springtime will grow I am the voice of the past that will always be Filled with my sorrow and blood in my fields I am the voice of the future, bring me your peace Bring me your peace and my wounds they will heal I am the voice in the wind and the pouring rain I am the voice of your hunger and pain I am the voice that always is calling you I am the voice I am the voice of the past that will always be I am the voice of your hunger and pain I am the voice of the future I am the voice, I am the voice I am the voice, I am the voice

Black is the colour of my true love's hair His lips are like a rose so fair He's got the sweetest face and the gentlest hands I love the ground whereon he stands I love my love and well he knows I love the ground whereon he goes And I wish the day, the day would come When he and I will be as one I walk to the Clyde to mourn and weep For satisfied I ne'er will sleep I'll write him a letter, a few short lines And suffer death ten thousand times Black is the colour of my true loves hair His lips are like a rose so fair He's got the sweetest face and the gentlest hands I love the ground whereon he stands I love the ground whereon he stands

I sat within the valley green I sat me with my true love And my fond heart strove the two between The old love and the new love The old for her, the new that made me think on Ireland dearly While soft the wind blew down the glade And shook the golden barley 'Twas hard the woeful words to frame To break the ties that bound us And harder still to bear the shame Of foreign chains around us And so I said the mountain glen I'll seek at morning early And I'll join the bold united men While soft wind shook the barley 'Twas sad I kissed away her tears Her fond arm 'round me clinging When a foeman's shot burst on our ears From out the wild woods ringing A bullet pierced my true love's side In life's young spring so early And on my breast in blood she died While soft wind shook the barley It's blood for blood without remorse I've taken at Oulart Hollow I've laid my true love's clay-like corpse Where mine full soon may follow Around her grave I've wandered drear Noon night and morning early With breaking heart whene'er I hear The wind that shakes the barley

Farewell my darling Ruadan A thousand times adieu You are going away from the holy ground And the ones that you love true You'll sail the salt seas over And then return for sure To see again the ones you love And the holy ground once more You're on the salt sea sailing And I am safe behind Fond letters I will write to you The secrets of my mind And the secrets of my mind, my love You're the one that I adore And still I live in hopes you'll see The holy ground once more I see the storm arising And it's coming quick and soon And the night so dark and cloudy You can scarcely see the moon And the secrets of my mind, my love You're the one that I adore And still I live in hopes you'll see The holy ground once more You're the one that I adore And still I live in hopes that you'll see The holy ground once more

When my love said to me Meet me down by the gallow tree For it's sad news I bring About this old town and all that it's suffering Some say troubles abound Someday soon they're gonna pull the old town down One day we'll return here When the Belfast child sings again Brothers, sisters, where are you now? As I look for you through the crowd All my life here I've spent With my faith in God, the church and the government Some say troubles abound Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down One day we'll return here When the Belfast child sings again When the Belfast child sings again

Of all the money that e'er I spent I spent it in good company And of all the harm that e'er I've done Alas it was to none but me And all I've done for want of wit To memory now I can't recall So fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be to you all And of all the comrades that e'er I've had They're sorry for my going away And of all the sweethearts that e'er I've had They'd wish me one more day to stay But since it falls unto my lot That I should rise and you should not I will gently rise and softly call Good night and joy be to you all I will gently rise and softly call Good night and joy be to you all
