08 Jul 08 - 03:40 PM (#2384053) Subject: Lyr Add: ACROSS THE HILLS (Leon Rosselson) From: Lord Batman's Kitchener Across the Hills - Leon Rosselson ^^^ Across the hills black clouds are sweeping Carry poison far and wide And the grass has blackened underfoot And the rose has withered and died But the rose is still as red now and the grass is still as green And it must have been a shadow in the distance you have seen Yes it must have been a shadow you have seen Can't you hear the children weeping Can't you hear that mournful sound No birds sing in the twisted trees And the silent streets are round I can hear the children laughing in the streets as they play And you must have caught the dying of an echo far away Yes it must have been an echo far away Can't you see the white ash falling From the hollow of the skies And the blood runs red from the blackened walls Where our ruined city lies I can see the bright sun shining in the park on the stream And you must have felt a shiver from the darkness of a dream Yes it must have been the darkness of a dream And it shall reap a hellish harvest Make the desert of this land But the rose is still as red now and the grass is still as green Yes it must have been a shadow you have seen (as sung by the Ian Campbell Folk Group) |

And that's about it |
