[00:02.581]When apples still grow in November
[00:09.511]When Blossoms still bloom from each tree
[00:16.001]When leaves are still green in December
[00:23.371]It's then that our land will be free
[00:30.101]I wander her hills and her valleys
[00:37.271]And still through my sorrow I see
[00:43.771]A land that has never known freedom
[00:51.311]Only her rivers run free
[00:58.001]I drink to the death of her manhood
[01:04.861]Those men who'd rather have died
[01:11.691]Than to live in the cold chains of bondage
[01:18.931]To bring back their rights were denied
[01:26.161]Oh where are you now when we need you
[01:32.971]What burns where the flame used to be
[01:39.831]Are you gone like the snows of last winter
[01:47.261]And will only our rivers run free
[01:54.311]How sweet is life but we're crying
[02:00.491]How mellow the wine but it's dry
[02:08.351]How fragrant the rose but it's dying
[02:15.521]How gentle the breeze but it sighs
[02:22.451]What good is in youth when it's aging
[02:29.501]What joy is in eyes that can't see
[02:36.311]When there's sorrow in sunshine and flowers
[02:43.991]And only our rivers run free
