Keelaghan James - Kiri`s Piano слова песни




Of all of Kiri Ito`s joys, the thing she loved the bestWas to play her prized piano when the sun had gone to restI used to hear the notes drift down along the silent waterAs Kiri played the notes and scales for her dear sons and daughtersNow me I played piano though not as good as KiriShe went in for that long haired stuff but my she played it prettyThe old piano had a tone would set my heart to achingIt always sounded sweetest though when it was Kiri playingIn December when the seventh fleet was turned to smoke and ashesThe order came to confiscate their fishing boats and cachesAnd Kiri`s husband forced to go and work in labour campsAnd Kiri left alone to fend and hold the fort as best she canBut the music did not drift as often from up the cove at Kiri`s houseAnd when it did it sounded haunted played with worry played with doubtFor Kiri knew that soon she too would be compelled to leaveAnd the old upright would stay behind and Kiri she would grieveI loaded Kiri on the bus with stoic interneesThe crime that they were guilty of was that they were not like meAnd if I was ashamed I didn`t know it at the timeThey were flotsam on the wave of war they were no friends of mineI went up to Kiri`s house to tag all their belongingsAnd set them out for auctioneers who`d claim them in the morningOne piece that I thought I`d keep and hold back for myselfWas that haunting ivory upright that Kiri played so wellBut Kiri had not left it there for me to take as plunderShe`d rolled it down onto the dock and on into the harborThat old upright in strangers` hands was a thought she couldn`t bearSo she consigned it to the sea to settle the affairSo many years have come and gone since Kiri`s relocationI look back now upon that time with shame and resignationFor Kiri knew what I did not that if we must be freeThen sometimes we must sacrifice to gain our dignityYes Kiri knew what I did not that if we must be freeThen sometimes we must sacrifice to gain our dignity
