这首《那里有玫瑰》“There Were Roses”（获得2003年英国广播公司民乐奖最佳歌曲提名），演绎了托米·杉德（Tommy Sand）的那个动人的爱尔兰故事。她第一次唱这首歌是应比利·扣纳利(Billy Connolly）之邀在他的电视节目上演出，结果观众的反映非常强烈。“大家可能会感到意外，不过我的确是从来没有做过什么和政治相关的事情，但是那一刻我真的是对和平有特别强烈的感觉，和这首歌的精神产生了强烈的共鸣，使得我非常自信能够把它很好的表演出来。”
Cara Dillon - there were roses
My song for you this evening
Is not to make you sad
Nor for adding to the sorrows
Of this troubled northern land
But lately I've been thinking
And it just wont leave my mind
I'll tell you about two friends one time
Who were both good friends of mine
Isaac he was Protestant
And Sean was Catholic born
But it never made a difference
For the friendship it was strong
And sometimes in the evening
When they heard the sound of drums
They said they wont divide us
We will always be as one
There were roses, roses
There were roses
And the tears of a people ran together
It was on a Sunday morning
When the awful news came round
Another killing had been done
Just outside Newry Town
We knew that Isaac danced up there
We knew he liked the band
But when we heard that he was dead
We just could not understand
Now fear it filled the countryside
There was fear in every home
When late at night a car came
Prowling round the Ryan Road
A Catholic would be killed tonight
To even up the score
Oh Christ, it's young MacDonald
They have taken from the door
There were roses, roses
There were roses
And the tears of a people ran together
Isaac was my friend he cried
He begged them with his tears
But centuries of hatred
Have ears that do not hear
An eye for an eye
That was all that filled their minds
And another eye for another eye
Till everyone was blind
Now I don't know where the moral is
Or where the song should end
But I wonder just how many wars
Are fought between good friends
And those who give the orders
Are not the ones to die
It's Scott and young MacDonald
And the likes of you and I
There were roses, roses
There were roses
And the tears of a people ran together[/size
