[00:00.19]Only Our Rivers - Planxty
[00:00.99]Lyrics by：Planxty
[00:08.48]When apples still grow in November
[00:16.32]When blossoms still bloom from each tree
[00:24.45]When leaves are still green in December
[00:32.68]It's then that our land will be free
[00:40.94]I wander her hills and her valleys
[00:49.08]And still through my sorrow I see
[00:57.12]A land that has never known freedom
[01:05.71]And only her rivers run free
[01:14.32]I drink to the death of her manhood
[01:22.53]Those men who'd rather have died
[01:30.47]Than to live in the cold chains of bondage
[01:39.19]To bring back their rights were denied
[01:47.56]Oh where are you now when we need you
[01:56.03]What burns where the flame used to be
[02:03.83]Are ye gone like the snows of last winter
[02:12.34]And will only our rivers run free
[02:54.12]How sweet is life but we're crying
[03:02.53]How mellow the wine but it's dry
[03:10.89]How fragrant the rose but it's dying
[03:19.10]How gentle the breeze but it sighs
[03:27.52]What good is in youth when it's aging
[03:36.05]What joy is in eyes that can't see
[03:44.03]When there's sorrow in sunshine and flowers
[03:52.34]And still only our rivers run free
