Only Our Rivers Run Free lyrics

Thanks to Catherine for these lyrics.

 

 were apples still grow in november

 where blossoms still bloom from each tree

 where leaves are still green in november

 its then that our land will be free

 i wander her hills and her valleys

 and still through my sorrows i see

 a land that has never known freedom

 and only her rivers run free

 

 i drink to the death of her manhood

 those men who rather have died

 than to live in the cold chains of bondage

 to bring back there rights were denied

 oh were are u now when we need u

 what burns were the flame used to be

 are u gone like the snow of last winter

 and will  only our rivers run free

 

 how sweet is the life but we're crying

 how mellow the wine but its dry

 how fragrent the rose but its dying

 how gentle the breeze but it sighs

 what good is in youth when its aging

 what joy is in eyes that cant see

 when theres sorrow in sunshine and flowers

 and still only our rivers run free
