| | There Were Roses Lyrics Artist(Band):Cara Dillon
It's not to make you sad Not for adding to the sorrows Of our troubled northern land But lately I've been thinking And it just wont leave my mind I'll tell you of two friends one time Who were both good friends of mine Isaac he was Protestant And Sean was Catholic born But 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 wont divide us We will always be as one There were roses, roses There were roses And the tears of the people ran together It was on a Sunday morning When the awful news came round Another killing had been done Just outside Newry Town We knew that Isaac danced up there We knew he liked the band But when we heard that he was dead We just could not understand Now fear it filled the countryside There was fear in every home When late at night a car came Prowling round the Ryan Road A Catholic would be killed tonight To even up the score Oh Christ, it's young MacDonald They have taken from the door There were roses, roses There were roses And the tears of the people ran together Isaac was my friend he cried He begged them with his tears But centuries of hatred Have ears that do not hear An eye for an eye That was all that filled their minds And another eye for another eye Til everyone is blind 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 Scott and young MacDonald And the likes of you and I There were roses, roses There were roses And the tears of the people ran together There were roses, roses There were roses And the tears of the people ran together If you find some error in There Were Roses Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about There Were Roses Amazing | Reviewer: Jamie Lynch | 10/13/2008 I Think that this song is so sad but it would give you hope in a time of need.When My brother was murdered for being a catholic, i didn't know why someone should be killed for their beliefs.For a while i was unstable and didn't know what to do but then i listened to this song and i found the strength to move on.I Still think about my brother everyday and i owe it all to this song that im able to not let grief over take me.Amazing song and beautifully sung. Jamie Lynch..xXx An international treasure | Reviewer: Kamran | 7/29/2008 Just saw Kara live at Womad at the weekend - a fantastic performance, fantastic voice and a lovely pleasant personality. She did this song as an encore, but it wasn't the best one she did - she's got a very good repertoire and I will be definitely buying her CD missing verse | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/5/2007 isaac was my freind he cried he begged them with his tears but centuries of hatred have ears that do not hear. an eye for an eye it was all that filled their minds and another eye for another eye till every one is blind Love this song | Reviewer: leo | 7/14/2007 This song is so sad and i went to see cara dillion at the start f the summer with my family in the theratre it wasn't even me who booked the tickets it wuz my mum and i thought it wuz goin 2 b reali boring but it wuz great i wud luv 2 go and see her again i wish i did enjoy it cuz she probably won't be back again but if she is i will definatly enjoy it this time wat bout u's like it? roses | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/14/2007 that other verse should have been put in aswell cos it just about sums up everyting dat happens here.not nearly as bad as it used to be but evidence of it is still everywhere. great song.very true. amazin | Reviewer: caragh | 5/30/2007 Cara Dillon is an amazing singer..and she speeks the truth thrrough this song.
