Strum
D-DU-UDU
Stephen  the flags are half mast  at the station
 There's a cloud  hanging over this town
 The wind  blows apology the sun looks ashamed
 As he hides  out behind Portadown
 And out  there are children still raised  on old anger
 To believe  there's a reason to fight
 But a piece  of land's only  a piece  of land
 And you  will  not come home  tonight
Stephen  the uniform visitors
 Unexpectedly  late yesterday
 I opened  the door to a man  and a woman
 Oh I knew  what they'd come here to say
I've  never seen any darkness  so deep
 As the moment  when I clicked off the light
A  piece of land's only  a piece  of land
 And you  will not come  home tonight
Oh...
Oh...
Stephen  the paper's been filled  with your picture
 It seems  the whole world knows your name
 And would  you believe there was Martin  McGuinness
 Out condemning  these bastards to blame
 Oh I've  never seen so much orange  and green
 Come together  on a thin strip of white
 Still a piece  of land's only  a piece  of land
 And you  will not come  home tonight
 A piece  of land's only  a piece  of land
 And you  will not come  home tonight
