[00:09.59]When apples still grow in November
[00:16.75]Where blossoms still bloom from each tree
[00:23.94]When leaves are
[00:25.63]Still green in December
[00:31.19]It's then that our land will be free
[00:38.58]I wander her hills and her valleys
[00:45.74]And still through my sorrow I see
[00:52.79]A land that has never known freedom
[01:00.08]And still only our rivers run free
[01:07.53]I will drink to the death of her manhood
[01:14.52]To those man who'd rather had died
[01:21.76]Than to live in the
[01:24.19]Cold chains of bondage
[01:29.37]To bring back their
[01:31.36]Lives were denied
[01:36.57]Oh where are you now
[01:39.93]When we need you
[01:43.71]What burns where
[01:45.44]The flames used to be
[01:50.74]Are you gone
[01:52.39]Like the snows of last winter
[01:58.00]And only our rivers run free
[02:05.34]How sweet is life but we're crying
[02:12.71]How mellow the wine but it dry
[02:19.85]How fragrant the rose but it's dying
[02:27.11]How gentle the wins but it sighs
[02:34.33]What good is in youth when it's aging
[02:41.32]What joy is in eyes that can't see
[02:48.54]When theres sorrow in sunshine and flowers
[02:55.77]And still only our rivers run free
