There Were Roses Lyrics Artist(Band):Cara Dillon
It's not to make you sad Nor 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 There were roses..... 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... 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 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 If you find some error in There Were Roses Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

An eye for an eye, it was all that filled their minds, and another eye for another eye, til everyone is blind." Is this review helpful to you?

I was unable to stop and record the name of the artist. It has haunted me ever since. Now that I have a name, tomorrow I am going to my local independant music store to order the CD.
