(Easter here again

A time for the blind to see

Easter

Surely now

Can all of your hearts be free?)

The ghost of a mist was on the field

The grey and the green together

The noise of a distant farm machine

Out of the first light came

A tattered necklace of hedge and trees

On the southern side of the hill

Betrays where the border runs between

Where Mary Dunnoon's boy fell

Easter here again

A time for the blind to see

Easter, surely now

Can all of your hearts be free?

Out of the port of Liverpool

Bound for the north of Ireland

The wash of the spray and horse-tail waves

The roll of the sea below

Easter here again

A time for the blind to see

Easter, surely now

Can all of your hearts be free?

What will you do?

Make a stone of your heart?

Will you set things right

When you tear them apart?

Will you sleep at night

With the pale and the stars alight?

What will you do?

With the wire and the gun?

They don't set things right

When it's all said and done

Will you sleep at night?

Is there so much love to hide?

Forget

See never again

Forget

See never again
