[ti:The Wind That Shakes The Barle]
[ar:Dead Can Dance]
[al:]

[00:01.03]i sat within the valley green
[00:06.63]i sat me with my true love.
[00:13.25]my sad heart strove the two between
[00:18.24]the old love and the new love.
[00:23.31]the old for her the new
[00:25.79]that made me think on ireland dearly.
[00:34.15]while the soft wind blew down the glade
[00:39.18]and shook the golden barley.
[00:46.44]t'was hard the woeful words to frame
[00:50.78]to break the ties that bound us.
[00:54.94]but harder still to bear the shame
[00:58.93]of foreign chains around us.
[01:03.95]and so i said the mountain glen
[01:07.83]i'll meet at morning early.
[01:14.86]and i'll join the bold united men
[01:21.07]while soft winds shook the barley.
[01:26.16]t'was sad i kissed away her tears
[01:30.47]my fond arm round her flinging.
[01:35.90]when a foe, man's shot burst on our ears
[01:40.21]from out the wild woods ringing.
[01:44.78]a bullet pierced my true love's side
[01:48.90]in life's young spring so early.
[01:55.67]and on my breast in blood she died
[02:01.55]while soft winds shook the barley.
[02:08.05]but blood for blood without remorse
[02:11.81]i've ta'en at oulart hollow.
[02:15.78]i've lain my true love's clay like corpse
[02:23.02]where i full soon must follow.
[02:27.14]around her grave i've wandered drear
[02:31.88]noon, night, and morning early.
[02:41.65]with breaking heart when e'er i hear
[02:49.94]the wind that shakes the barley.
