Wind That Shakes The Barley
Lyricist:Lisa Germaine Gerrard, Brendan Michael Perry
I sat within the valley green I sat me with my true love My sad 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
T'was 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 meet at morning early And I'll join the bold united men While soft winds shook the barley
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com T'was sad I kissed away her tears My fond arm round her flinging When a fore man's shot burst on our ears From out the wild woods ringing
A bullet pierced in my true love's side In life's young spring, so early On my breast, in blood she died While soft winds shook the barley
But blood for blood without remorse I've [Incomprehensible]hollow I've lain my true love's clay like corpse Where I'll full soon must follow
Around her grave I've wandered drear Noon, night and morning early With breaking heart when e'er I hear The wind that shakes the barley
