下午六点的地铁。
人来人往。满是人的味道。
那种暖暖的，满是假日气息的味道。
手里图书馆借来的书沉沉的
提醒着我还有很多该做没做的事
最近总是忙着，毫无头绪
周末，已经是好久没有了。
图书馆里有好些贴着花花绿绿图片的游记
满满的，都是我向往的地方。
怀念去年夏天的海边
怀念那些一样忙碌着的朋友们
幻想着我们什么时候能够一起
悠闲
看山花烂漫

仅仅几年的时间内，Cara Dillon凭借她震撼人心的表演和成熟迷人的声音赢得了整个国家观众的心，以及其他几个国家的观众，因为她的表演能穿越国界，文化和语言。

她出生于1975年，来自一个爱尔兰传统音乐世家。她的声音如此清透美丽而极具风格，让观众们觉得相间恨晚。用这样一句话来形容Cara Dillon不足为过：Cara Dillon是个不寻常的天才！

《爱尔兰音乐杂志》说，Cara Dillon冷酷却富有感染力的声音包含着她对家乡的热情和对国家的热爱。

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
