Big Country - The Storm lyrics
I came from the hills with a tear in my eye
 The winter closed in and the crows filled the sky
 The houses were burning the flames gold and red
 The people were running with eyes full of dread
Ah, my James, they didn't have to do this
 We chased them for miles I had tears in my eyes
 Through forest and moors as the clouds filled the skies
 The storm broke upon us with fury and flame
 Both hunters and hunted washed out in the rain
Ah, my James, they didn't have to do this
 I know, I can never return
 To the time of hope when I was born
 Let the strength of peace run through my hand
 When we walk away from the stormy shore
 Then I will be afraid no moreBig Country - The Storm - http://motolyrics.com/big-country/the-storm-lyrics.html
 And now I'm sure of where I stand
 Let the strength of peace run through this land
 And nobody smiled as we took back our own
 While rain beat upon us the thunder did moan
 And nobody smiled when we knew what was lost
 We knew well enough only time proves the cost
 Ah, my James, they didn't have to do this
 Ah, my James, they didn't have to do this
 I know, I can never return
 To the time of hope when I was born
 Let the strength of peace run through my hand
 When we walk away from the stormy shore
 Then I will be afraid no more
 And now I'm sure of where I stand
 Let the strength of peace run through this land
