Motherland (祖国) - Christy Moore

Where in hell can you go

Far from the things that you know

Far from this concrete sprawl

That keeps crawling it's way

About a thousand miles a day

Take one last look behind

Commit this to memory and mind

Don't miss this wasteland

This terrible place when you leave

Keep your heart off your sleeve

Motherland cradle me

Close my eyes lullaby me to sleep

Keep me safe

Lie with me stay beside me don't go

My five and dime queen

Tell me what have you seen

The lust and the avarice

The bottomless cavernous greed

Is that what you see

Motherland cradle me

Close my eyes lullaby me to sleep

Keep me safe

Lie with me stay beside me don't go

Don't you go

It's your happiness

I want most of all and for that I'd

Do anything at all

If you want the best of life

And the most of love

If there is anything I can do at all

Come on shotgun bride

What makes me envy your life

The faceless the nameless

The innocent the blameless and free

What's that like to be

Motherland cradle me

Close my eyes lullaby me to sleep

Keep me safe lie with me stay beside me don't go

Motherland cradle me

Close my eyes lullaby me to sleep

Keep me safe

Lie with me stay beside me don't go

Don't you go

Don't you go
