Christy Moore Minds Locked Shut
It happened on a Sunday afternoon
On a lovely bright crisp winters afternoon
On a perfect day for walking.
There was gunshots, stones and bullets
On a lovely bright crisp winters afternoon
There was chaos, panic and death,
Disbelief upon the faces
Fear and bewilderment
The seconds seemed so long
They're firing bullets at us
It was not supposed to be like this
Awesome to behold
And then our minds locked shut
And then our minds locked shut
And then our minds locked shut
And then our minds locked shut
And there remains .
Jackie Duddy and Willie Nash,
Gerry Donaghy, Willy McKinney,
Gerard McKinney and Jim Wray
Johnny Johnston, Barney McGuigan,
Paddy Doherty, Kevin McIlhenny
John Young, Mickey Kelly,
Hugh Gilmore, Micheal McDaid
Let us remember .
It happened on a Sunday afternoon
On a lovely bright crisp winters afternoon
On a perfect day for walking.
