[ti:The Wind That Shakes The Barley] [ar:Dead Can Dance] [al:Toward The Within] [offset:500] [00:00.00]D.C.D - The Wind That Shakes The Barley [00:00.60] [00:01.20]I sat within the valley green [00:05.89]I sat me with my true love. [00:12.34]My sad heart strove the two between [00:17.38]The old love and the new love. [00:22.91]The old for her the new [00:25.26]That made me think on Ireland dearly. [00:32.86]While the soft wind blew down the glade [00:37.84]And shook the golden barley. [00:43.16] [00:44.09]T'was hard the woeful words to frame [00:48.40]To break the ties that bound us. [00:53.23]But harder still to bear the shame [00:57.57]Of foreign chains around us. [01:01.99]And so I said the mountain glen [01:06.47]I'll meet at morning early. [01:12.88]And I'll join the bold united men [01:17.87]While soft winds shook the barley. [01:22.08] [01:22.89]T'was sad I kissed away her tears [01:27.38]My fond arm round her flinging. [01:32.25]When a foe, man's shot burst on our ears [01:36.58]From out the wild woods ringing. [01:40.74]A bullet pierced my true love's side [01:45.33]In life's young spring so early. [01:52.51]And on my breast in blood she died [01:57.54]While soft winds shook the barley. [02:01.76] [02:02.75]But blood for blood without remorse [02:07.40]I've ta'en at oulart hollow. [02:11.72]I've lain my true love's clay like corpse [02:17.19]Where I full soon must follow. [02:21.96]Around her grave I've wandered drear [02:26.83]Noon, night, and morning early. [02:33.72]With breaking heart when e'er I hear [02:39.80]The wind that shakes the barley. [02:45.84] [02:46.72] [02:47.69]END
