[Verse]
I came from th
e hills with a
tear in my ey
e
The winter clo
sed in and the
crows filled
the sky
The houses wer
e burning in f
lames gold and
red
The people wer
e running with
eyes full of
dread
[Chorus]
Ah my James.
They didn’t h
ave to do this
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
We chased them
for miles I h
ad tears in my
eyes
Through forest
and moor as t
he clouds fill
ed the sky
The storm brok
e upon us with
fury and flam
e
Both hunters a
nd hunted wash
ed out in the
rain
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Ah my James.
They didn’t h
ave to do this
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
I know
I can never r
eturn
To the time of
hope when I w
as born
Let the streng
th of peace ru
n through my h
ands
When we walk a
way from the s
torm’s roar
Then I will be
afraid no
more
And now I’m su
re of where I
stand
Let the streng
th of peace ru
n through this
land
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
And nobody smi
led as we took
back our own
While rain bea
t upon us the
thunder would
moan
And nobody smi
led when we kn
ew what was lo
st
We knew well e
nough only tim
e proves the c
ost
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Ah my James.
They didn’t h
ave to do this
Ah my James.
They didn’t h
ave to do this
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
I know
I can never r
eturn
To the time of
hope when I w
as born
Let the streng
th of peace ru
n through my h
ands
When we walk a
way from the s
torm’s roar
Then I will be
afraid no
more
And now I’m su
re of where I
stand
Let the streng
th of peace ru
n through this
land
