RECONCILIATION
  Ron Kavana
  
       D      A7       D 
  When summer time has gone 
      D                A7 
  and autumn winds are threatening 
     D        A7 
  to blow our love away 
       G                 A7 
  'Tis then love will be tested. 
  D      A7        D 
  Arm in arm we'll stand, 
  D       G      A7 
  Side by side together 
  G           A7     G 
  To face the common foe 
             G              A7 
  That would tear our love asunder.
  
  Chorus:
  
  D    A7   D 
  Tura lura lay 
  D         A7 
  Tura lura laddie 
  D    A7   D 
  Tura lura lay 
  G    A7   D 
  Tura lura laddie
  
  Oh, ye fair-weather friends,
  Where are you now I need you?
  Gone like the autumn sun 
  On a dark December morning.
  When hard times come around 
  Like cold and stormy weather,
  There's only you and I, my love,
  To shelter one another
  
  Chorus:
  
  Now there is a time to fight, 
  And there's a time for healing 
  As the sun it will melt the snow 
  On clear, bright April mornings. 
  Our fight has run its course 
  Now is the time for healing 
  So let us both embrace 
  Sweet reconciliation.

Spelling corrected to "Kavana" in this message and message title, but I can't change the thread title. --JoeClone, 3-Jun-02.

The song is, of course, an alegory for Ireland. My favourite version of it is on Tomas Lynch's wonderful "Crux of the Catalogue" recording, on which Ron also appears.

Cheers,

Tura lura lay, tura lura landi
Tura lura lay, tu-ura lay

All you fair-weather friends
Where are you now I need you
Gone like the autumn sun
On dark December mornings
When hard times come around
Like dark and stormy weather
There's only you and I my love
To shelter one another

Chorus

Now there's a time to fight
And there's a time for healing
Like the sun will melt the snow
On clear bright April mornings
Our fight has run its course
And now's the time for healing
So let us both embrace
Sweet reconciliation

Chorus

I hope this song brings you as much pleasure as it has to me.
