The Gentry Cove |
Run they said to a promised land |
Run and find us a helping hand |
Don’t come back till the sun is gone |
Don’t come back till the war is won |
We all set out with our hearts in hand |
A cold wind covered up a line in the sand |
All so young |
Nothing to lose |
Pieces of silver and a dead mans shoes |
And oh do you know what I’m saying |
Strike a light to guide us Somewhere |
Tempest swells our worlds collide |
Arrows from above and the salt in our eyes |
Then as the sky began to bruise |
We all sought shelter from the breaking news |
Oh did I ever show you |
All the great memorials, all the factory floors |
And oh though you know I don’t know you |
Now that were here |
Let’s make them proud |
On and on and on and on and on and on we go |
Traipsing over bridges |
Over corpses down below |
And all the while we could have smiled |
For one thing on our minds |
The very thing you strive for |
Is the thing that makes you blind |
Run they said to a promised land |
Run and find us a helping hand |
Don’t come back till the sun is gone |
Don’t come back till the war is won |
Tempest high, stories tall |
Thought that we learnt nothing at all |
Then at last the day was saved |
With flowers borrowed from a dead friends grave |
And oh even still I don’t know you |
Maybe I’ll show you |
If you’ve eyes to see |
And so farewell |
And so farewell |
And so farewell |
And so farewell to it |
