Only Our Rivers
CAPO 3
FWhen apples still Ggrow in NovemFber
When Fblossoms still Fbloom from each Gtree
When Fleaves are still green in DeFcember
It's Gthen that our Amland will be Amfree
I Fwander her hills and her Fvalleys
And Fstill through my sorrow I Gsee
A Fland that has never know Ffreedom
And Gonly her Amrivers run Amfree
I drink to the death of her manhood
Those men who'd rather have died
Than to live in the cold chains of bondage
To bring back thier rights were denied
Oh where are you now that we need you
What burns where the flame used to be
Are ye gone like the snows of last winter
And will only our ivers run free
How sweet is life but we're crying
How mellow the wine but we're dry
How fragrant the rose but it's dying
How gentle the wind but it sighs
What good is in youth when it's aging
What joy is in eyes that can't see
When there's sorrow in sunshine and laughter
And still only our rivers run free
