The Sound Of A Gun Lyrics - Chris De Burgh

I have seen the diamond stylus 

Cut a groove from north to south 

Heard them calling from the islands for a better day 

One by one they tell their stories 

One by one it's just the same 

They've taken our leaders 

And all our believers are paralized 

Now we can't turn back... 

Somebody is watching you 

Don't turn round 

Yesterday is gone! 

And even the children are waking at midnight in tears... 

Mother mother mother... 

Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun 

Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

Looking out my bedroom window 

I remember early days 

When the shot that wounded millions took our breath away 

But now the shadow of a gunman 

With his balaclava eyes 

Is making the news 

Calling out the warnings on the telephone 

You're in the line of fire 

Wish there was another way 

Line of fire 

Anything goes 

And who is the winner and what will the minister say 

At the end of the day? 

Never never never... 

Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun 

Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun 

Mother mother mother...

Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun 

Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun 

Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun 

Hush child, do not weep 

It's only the sound of a world on the run 

You're hearing the sound of a gun
