lirik lagu tommy sands (irish singer) - there were roses

[verse 1]
my song for you this evening, it’s not to make you sad
not for adding to the sorrows of this troubled northern land
but lately i’ve been thinking and it just won’t leave my mind
i’ll tell you of two friends one time who were both good friends of mine

allan bell from banagh, he lived just across the fields
a great man for the music, and the dancing and the reels
o’malley came from south armagh to court young alice fair
and we often met on the ryan road and laughter filled the air

[chorus]
there were roses, rosеs
there werе roses
and the tears of the people ran together

[verse 2]
though allan he was protestant and sean was catholic born
it never made a difference, for the friendship it was strong
and sometimes in the evening when we heard the sound of drums
we said ‘it won’t divide us, we always will be the one’

for the ground our fathers plowed in, the soil it is the same
and the places where we say our prayers have just got different names
we talked about the friends who’d died and hoped there’d be no more
it was little then we realized the tragedy in store
[chorus]
there were roses, roses
there were roses
and the tears of the people ran together

[verse 3]
it was on a sunday morning when the awful news came ’round
another k!lling had been done just outside newry town
we knew that allan danced up there, we knew he liked the band
but when we heard that he was dead we just could not understand

we gathered at the graveside on a cold and rainy day
and the minister he closed his eyes and he prayed for no revenge
and all the ones who knew him from along the ryan road
that bowed their heads and said a prayer for the resting of his soul

[chorus]
there were roses, roses
there were roses
and the tears of the people ran together

[verse 4]
well fear it filled the countryside, there was fear in every home
when a car of death came prowling round the lonely ryan road
a catholic would be k!lled tonight to even up the score
oh christ it’s young o’malley they’ve taken from the door
‘allan was my friend!’ he cried, he begged them with his tears
but centuries of hatred have ears that cannot hear
an eye for an eye was all that filled their minds
and another eye for another eye till everyone is blind

[chorus]
there were roses, roses
there were roses
and the tears of the people ran together

[verse 5]
so my song for you this evening, it’s not to make you sad
nor for adding to the sorrows of this troubled northern land
but lately i’ve been thinking and it just won’t leave my mind
i’ll tell you of two friends one time who were both good friends of mine

now i don’t know where the moral is or where this song should end
but i wonder just how many wars are fought between good friends
and those who give the orders are not the ones to die
it’s bell and o’malley and the likes of you and i

[chorus]
there were roses, roses
there were roses
and the tears of the people ran together
there were roses, roses
there were roses….
