Deburgh Chris - The Sound Of A Gun Lyrics
Cut a groove from north to south,Heard them calling from the islands for a better day,One by one they tell their story,One by one it's just the same,"They've taken our leaders,And all their believers are paralysed,And now we can't turn back - somebody is watching you!Don't turn round - yesterday's gone!And even the children are waking at midnight in tears,Didn't anyone hear? Mother, mother, mother..."Hush child go to sleep, it's only the sound of a gun,Hush child go to sleep, it's only the sound of a gun;Looking out my bedroom window,I remember early days,When the shot that wounded millions took our breath away,But now the shadow of a gunman,With his balaclava eyes, is making the news,Calling out the warnings on the telephone,"You're in the line of fire - wish there was another way!Line of fire - anything goes,"And who is the winner, and what will the minister say,At the end of the day? Never, never, never, never!Hush child go to sleep, it's only the sound of a gun,Hush child go to sleep, it's only the sound of a gun;This is bella soma, this is bella soma...Mother, mother, mother...Hush child go to sleep, it's only the sound of a gun,Hush child go to sleep, it's only the sound of a gun,Hush child go to sleep, it's only the sound of a gun,Hush child do not weep,It's only the sound of a world on the run,You're hearing the sound of a gun.
