letra de down by the dockyard down (an epitaph for belfast) - david mcwilliams
[chorus]
down by the dockyard the waters lie still
big cranes like tombstones surround her
down by the dockyard the waters lie still
dead as the city that bounds her
[verse 1]
the old woman wrapped in her long faded shawl
in the doorway she waits for tomorrow
once there was laughter behind her old walls
now, just the grey face of sorrow
[verse 2]
the houses are empty, the neighbours all gone
stones are still standing but they’re standing alone
as thе boat bound for liverpool sings out her song
the cobblеstones echo silence
[chorus]
down by the dockyard the waters lie still
the big cranes like tombstones surround her
down by the dockyard waters lie still
dead as the city bounds her
[instrumental break]
[verse 3]
once she stood proud, and she held her head high
her mills and her factories growin’
’til hate came to rule her then told her lies
father fought son never knowin’
[chorus]
the gun became master and prejudice rules
a home made for madmen, a haven for fools
still, she’s built her own wasteland in her churches and schools
dead as the children she’s buried
