I don't believe I've seen
A woman like you anywhere
And I must admit that I can't see
To making you into a dream

But if I had a magical wonder word
I'd send a dove to catch your love
And I send a blackbird to steal your heart

I listen to the words that whisper in my ear
I've heard the words of anger, i know the words of fear
But are whispered in the shadows, the only word of freedom

Anti-apartheid is all that i hear

To separate the colours and break the rainbow sign
To ask the finest painter to draw a crooked line

Oh, when will you be free
My pretty little girl
To come and go with me

As the day grows longer now
See the bird upon the branch
See the leaves upon the trail

One morning fair
As I took the air
Down by Black Waterside
And in gazing all around me
The Irish lad I spied

All for the fore part of that night
We lay in sport and play

Once I had a heart like a mean old hen,
Kept her locked up in a chicken wire pen
Cluckng at the walls, scratching at the ground,
Peck at anybody who would come around

Then one day she didn't sing,
I listened close but I didn't hear a thing
Looking all around, calling her name,

I wish I was a star moving in
The dark in a deep blue sky
Well, love and hate are lost behind the moon
Where nothing can go wrong
And my soul can get along

Sometimes I wonder how long it will be
Before I can settle down

Green are your eyes
In the morning, when you arise
Don't you be afraid to lie
By me, my love,
Your father will not know.

Love can be broken,
Though no words are spoken,

Freedom fighters speak with your tongues
Sing with the might of the wind
In your lungs, do you hear me now?
My mama told me, papa said it too
Son, the world's divided and you know
Your cause is true, do you hear me now?
Can you see those mushrooms seed and burst
Spreading through our valleys breeding hunger

I’m sorry if I failed you, for that I take the blame
And I’m sorry if I snubbed you, I hang my head in shame
But those people you call friends did you much more harm than good
I should’ve tried much harder to reach out when i could

When the children come to visit you, you break into a smile
They fill your heart with sunshine, just for a little while
You made a model airplane to teach them how to fly

Jack Orion was as good a fiddler
As ever fiddled on a string
He could make young women mad
To the tune his fiddle would sing

He could fiddle the fish out of salt water
Or water from a marble stone
Or milk from out of a maiden's breast

Dirty blood, dripping from a black sky
Onto a barren land
And everywhere there's sorrow, despair and desolation
There is no air nowhere
Dogs bark and it's dark and scary
From the towers to the ocean
Under a Hecatean moon
La Luna

I once thought I did know all about it
Since the rain falls, the wind blows and the sun shines
Don't you know that your creator is a'running out of ideas?

I know that I might die from poison
Invisible hanging there in the sunlight
And don't you know that your creator is a'running out of ideas?

The first time ever I saw your face,
I thought the sun rose in your eyes,
and the moon and stars were the gifts you gave,
To the dark and empty skies my love,
Dark and empty skies.

The first time ever I kissed your lips
I felt the earth move in my hand,

I'm a travelling man a-moving
You name it I've been there
And night and day I strive to sell my wares
Got nothing I can show you
Nothing you can wear
But hang around a while and lend an ear
While travellin' on a freight-train
On the Rocky Island line
