Chris de Burgh - The Sound Of A Gun lyrics

Your rating:

I have seen the diamond stylus
Cut a groove from north to south
Heard them calling from the islands for a better day

One by one they tell their story
One by one it's just the same
"They've taken our leaders
And all their believers are paralysed
(And now we can't turn back) somebody is watching you!
(Don't turn round) yesterday's gone!
And even the children are waking at midnight in tears
Didn't anyone hear? 
Mother, mother, mother, mother"

(Hush child, go to sleep) it's only the sound of a gun
(Hush child, go to sleep) it's only the sound of a gun

Looking out my bedroom window
I remember early days
When the shot that wounded millions took our breath away

But now the shadow of a gunman
With his balaclava eyes, is making the news
Calling out the warnings on the telephone
("You're in the line of fire) wish there was another way
(Line of fire) anything goes"
And who is the winner and what will the minister say
At the end of the day? 
Never, never, never, never

(Hush child, go to sleep) it's only the sound of a gun
(Hush child go to sleep) it's only the sound of a gun

This is bella soma, this is bella soma
This is bella soma, this is bella soma
This is bella soma, this is bella soma
Mother, mother, mother, mother

(Hush child, go to sleep) it's only the sound of a gun
(Hush child, go to sleep) it's only the sound of a gun
(Hush child, go to sleep) it's only the sound of a gun
(Hush child, do not weep) it's only the sound of a world on the run
You're hearing the sound of a gun
