Subject: Lyr Add: WILL I SEE THEE MORE (John McCusker)
Must I be bound to leave your side?
When all my heart is begging me to bide
And every step takes me further from your door.
Will I see thee more,
Will I see thee more?

Shield me ffrom the burning sky
The blinding storms around me fly
A host of poppies, hidden in great store
Will I see thee more,
Will I see thee more?

And all the Queen's horses and all of her men
Cannot put the world together again
Another war to end all war
Will I see thee more,
Will I see thee more?

And if peace comes, then let it be soon
November rain, the empty tomb
Christian soldiers marching as to war
Will I see thee more,
Will I see thee more?

And all the Queen's horses...........

Must I be bound to leave your side,
When all thy heart is begging me to bide
And every step's still further from your door
Will I see thee more,
Will I see thee more?

And all the Queen's horses......

BUT - after 'another war to end all war' there's 'I think they've told us all of this before'
then 'Will I see thee more,
Will I see thee more.

Yes, written by John McCusker for the Under One Sky project. Try and listen to Jim Causley sing it - rathewr different from John Tams.
